Discussion
 * Contextualization may be pursued to drastic extents (even to Muslims remaining in Mosques, perhaps, C-5) but the worldview must change.
 * Do not push Christianity so hard that converts get a compartmentalized worldview and largely retain the old.

Examples
 * In Western culture - not resisting homosexuality, USA is the Christian nation, materialism, etc.
 * In Hinduism - adding JC to list of Gods or JC is manifestation of Brahma (who they do not redefine)
