Prepare a final research project / paper.
A major project is required that will represent a culmination of
your learning applied to an area of your God-given passion and
calling. This can be a paper, however, I encourage creativity
and expression in various formats.
See page to for the full assignment details
This project is worth 30% of your course grade. It is obviously
important and will warrant you
taking sufficient time and thoughtful reflection to product a
synthesis work that represents your
overall growth in understanding culture.
In simplest terms:
You are to take your ethnography and now explore opportunities
and obstacles you see in
ministry/missionary endeavors among them with the
culmination of suggesting a strategy for
Christian outreach to this people-group.
You have freedom to express yourself with your unique gifts
and talents in this project.
Options 1
You may write a paper (15 pages)
In this paper, you will restate/repeat your ethnography making
necessary additions and
corrections. Then proceed to outline what opportunities and
challenges may be present in Gospel
work among them and then outline and explain (well cited)
possible ways to engage in
ministry/mission.

OR
Option 2
You may present a creative project.
This would fit your own gift mix. In all creative presentations, a
short (1-2 page) summary and
explanation of the project is required. You may write and record
a song (s), present a montage of
photographs, choreograph and video a dance, write a dramatic
sketch, craft a series of poems,
paint/draw a series of art expressions.... As you see, the options
are only limited by your own
creativity. Please note, your effort will need to be equivalent to
the work required to produce a
15 page paper.

Understanding the Values of Christianity

Understanding the Values of Christianity
The Loma Linda region in the USA is home to about 10,000
Adventists. The region is famous for registering the highest
average life expectancy than the average figures for Americans.
The longevity is partly attributed to the selective eating habits
of the inhabitants (Loma Linda, California, 2022). This
Adventist group values exercising their body and participating
in socialization events such as community work, nature walks,
and group Bible studies. Their busy and happy communal life is
stress relieving, avoiding common lifestyle diseases such as
obesity and high blood pressure. This article dissects the
Christianity practices and beliefs of the Adventist group and
how they shape their lifestyle and values.
The eating habits and type of food for the Loma Linda culture
are based on the tenets of Biblical teachings. This Adventist
group is mainly vegetarian – emphasizing a plant-based diet.
They detest meat consumption as it is associated with certain
cancers and other diseases (Loma Linda, California, 2022).
Consumption of meat is rare; if need be, it must be from clean
animals, as stated in the Bible's teachings. The group values a
balanced vegetarian diet with legumes, fruits, nuts, cereals and
vegetables – all well-prepared to benefit the body; preparing the
required nutrient is carefully done to ensure it is properly
cooked. A plant-based diet and consuming sugar and salt in
moderation prevent lifestyle diseases such as high blood
pressure, certain cancers, and obesity.
According to Biblical teachings, the Loma Linda Adventists
value maintaining a healthy body – as the human body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit. Consequently, there is an emphasis
on exercising the body across all age groups to maintain a
healthy physique. Body exercising enhances one's immunity. It
also promotes weight loss, promoting a healthy Body Mass
Index, BMI, which is essential in regulating blood pressure.
Physical exercise promotes individual wellness, thus boosting

one's life expectancy. Normalizing outdoor physical exercise
with a breath of fresh air is therapeutic and results in stress
relief – minimizing the chances of developing depression.
Moreover, communal life and socialization promote clear
conscious and emotional wellness. Adventists are known for
observing a day on the Sabbath to congregate and socialize with
fellow believers. This socialization promotes emotional
wellness by relieving their minds of weekly stressors. The
group values voluntary community service, which they perceive
as a primary mandate for human beings as per the scripture
teachings (LaMotte, 2019). Through living a servant life; doing
good to others, the group obtains great satisfaction adding to
the quality of their life.
The Adventists of Loma Linda teach the virtues of leading a
drug free life free from smoking and alcohol intake; which
contribute to development of diseases. Tobacco smoking will
contribute to development of lung cancers while alcohol intake
promotes liver disease (LaMotte, 2019). To lead a quality
lifestyle this group observes teetotalism adding on their healthy
life. Their non-indulgence depicts the other aspect of a quality
lifestyle in alcohol and drug abuse.
Several adaptability issues might experience cultural pushback.
As a Loma Linda Adventist, migrating to a new area where their
staunch Christianity values are not observed can be quite
challenging. It would be difficult to compromise the highly
heralded Christian teachings because of geographical change.
There is even more difficult to adapt to the new Christian
teachings and practices since the fundamental Adventist beliefs
and tenets are passed through generations. The eating habits,
communal living, and the general Christian lifestyle represent
these people's identities.
Caleb had a lot of difficulties assimilating to the culture in
Milan, having moved from Loma Linda to the US. His short
spell of four years in Italy as a foreign college student was
marked by immense culture shock. Virtually all Christian
practices in Milan – which Roman Catholicism hugely inspires -

seemed to contradict what he grew up practicing as the norm
back in the US (O'Callaghan, 2017). The dressing style, eating
habits, hobbies, and Christian values in his new setting were
unacceptable where he hails.
Our dress code is the number one factor in our identity.
Different cultures are identified by their unique dressing styles
and how they value decency. The Loma Linda Christian faction
emphasizes a decent dressing style congruent with Biblical
beliefs. To the shock of Caleb, the Christians of Italy seemed to
have embraced modernity – compromising the foundational
elements of Christianity contained in the Biblical teachings
(O'Callaghan, 2017). Women are not expected to put on male
clothes and vice versa. Caleb could not believe, in Milan, ladies
donned tight trousers – which are, besides being meant for men,
indecent. It was very awkward to adopt this cultural indecency
for Caleb as it was a sin even for men to dress provocatively,
exposing private body parts. Instead, we should keep our bodies
holy and well protected as they should be an instrument for
preaching God's word to the nations.
The Adventists of Loma Linda have demystified the Biblical
teachings of using our abilities and opportunities to continue
the work of evangelism. How Italians spend their leisure time
caught Caleb in shock. He found the adjustment to this lifestyle
quite difficult. He was used to a life of service, reaching out to
the lost sheep and bringing them back to the heaven-bound
flock. Instead, in Milan, most people used their free time to
pursue earthly pleasures such as alcohol, fornication, and other
evils. The turn of events meant that Caleb could not continue
the social and communal life they practiced back home
(LaMotte, 2019). Until he made some friends who shared
similar Christian values, he always kept to himself in utter awe
about the lukewarm Christianity in this part of the world.
The value of life and the perception of death are essential
subjects in Christianity. The differing Christian perceptions of
life and death influence people's ethical values and beliefs to a
greater degree. Back in Loma Linda, the Adventist group

perceived life to be sacred and a privilege call for duty in
discharging God's work assigned to humanity during creation
(Choudry et al., 2018). The holy duty requires these people to
live without blemish as they are supposed to reflect the image
of God in body, spirit, and actions. As a result, you will find the
Christian community in Loma Linda pursuing Christian
perfection through strict observance of the ten commandments
of God. Caleb, however, discovers that in Milan, the people
seemed preoccupied with the popular narrative of 'you only live
once. They paid little attention to observing personal wellness
through pursuing healthy living and care for their bodies.
Instead, they pursued secular lifestyles.
In the Christian teachings upheld by the Adventist group in
Loma Linda, materialism is secular and incompatible with the
quest for eternal life (Choudry et al., 2018). Instead of amassing
earthly riches and fame, this group encourages the pursuit of
everlasting life. Therefore, Christians are expected to live a life
of service to - the least of those – the needy in society. This
lifestyle glorifies the Gospel of God and is in accordance with
the foundational tenets of Christianity. Caleb was, however,
forced to contemplate a materialistic world in the Roman
Catholicism context while in Milan. The contradictory Christian
teachings breed confusion as embracing modernity through the
integration of capitalism into Christian values and faith is
against the expectations of scripture.
According to Caleb, his Adventist values and beliefs are
generational practices that everyone in his bloodline has upheld
throughout their lives. He was born and nurtured in a Christian
family of the Adventist faction. He was brought up according to
the fundamental beliefs and teachings of Adventism that his
parents practiced. His culture of communal living and love for
others was highly regarded. Taking care of the body, which is
the temple of the Holy Spirit, was a basic requirement if one is
to abide by the teachings of God. These teachings are backed by
Biblical verses and stories that concretize the strict observance
of holiness. The Bible is the Holy book at the heart of Christian

teachings and beliefs. Caleb believes there is no question about
the practices of Loma Linda, and he will certainly pass the
values and beliefs down to his generation.
Further research on the implication of the values and beliefs of
the Loma Linda Adventists on their quality of life and longevity
was affirmative. Published research indicated that people from
this region lived ten years longer than the average American life
expectancy (Loma Linda, California, 2022). The incidence of
lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, lung cancer, colon cancer,
prostate cancer, or high blood pressure was minimal. The
quality of life these people practiced was the sole purpose of
their good health and immunity.
In conclusion, people's behavior, food, and lifestyle define their
identity. There can be different factions of Christianity
depending on the values and practices they promote. These
values and practices form the way of life of these people,
passed down through generations, as the right way of living.
Interaction with different Christian values and beliefs later in
life presents a culture shock and makes it difficult for believers
to compromise and adopt the new culture. Cultural change must
be based on the implication of the trade-offs to the affected
party and the generational significance of the foundational
Christian values.
