“God does not reveal himself in the abstract, but by using languages, imagery and expressions that are bound to different cultures…The phenomenon of culture is, in its various aspects, an essential datum of human experience.” –Pope Benedict XVI, 2010.

Cultural diversity plays an important role in human development and in nation building. Sadly, fear of ‘the other’, of those whose ethnicity, race, traditions, cultural practices etc are different from ours, often prevent us from building inclusive societies.
