- Abstract
The term Inculturation is used in Christianity, especially in the Roman Catholic Church. It is the exchange of culture or acceptance of native culture. This means Christianity in each land imbibes native culture, tradition and practices without moving away from Christian ideology and faith. By this, the Christian communities will have connection with other cultures. Inculturation became a world-wide practice. In each land, Inculturation is done in support of native culture, customs and practices. In India, Inculturation is done mainly as an adaptation of Hindu practices and customs. The concept and importance of Inculturation came after the Second Vatican Council. Inculturation 'was emphasized in the council, for the existence of Christianity in the modern world.
