Since the council, the Christian church has only grown in its appreciation for the value of diverse, deeply inculturated expressions of the one faith. These expressions might appear in the form of local liturgies and spiritualities, or in distinctive religious customs and popular devotions. Among these diverse expressions, we must include theological articulations of the faith that arise as Christians bring the Gospel into critical con-versation with a distinct set of questions and concerns par-ticular to their local context. The church universal is enriched when these voices can be heard, not only in their own socio-cultural context, but by the churches throughout the commu-nio ecclesiarum.
