"Why do you think it's 'interesting?'"

Excellent question, K. FK, why DO you find that interesting? You should know that The Faith, the exact same Faith, has formed both of those cultures at least at the village level to this day and before the infection of those societies in the past, say, 150 years, by Western Enlightenment notions, at all levels.

FK: "I think it's really interesting that two seminaries that focus so much on different cultures and languages come away with the exact same theology."

Since I don't know much about village culture, I was thinking more of on a national level. Since the 1940's, one culture grew up behind the Iron Curtain, and one did not. So, I thought it was good that the faiths remain the same today. I think American culture has driven several Protestant denominations right into the sewer, and that's just in my lifetime. I admit that and lament it. So, I just meant my remark as a compliment. :)
