520 |a Syncretism is the tendency for new culture patterns to be combined and intermingled with existing patterns when they are adopted into a society. In one sense syncretism is an inevitable characteristic of any profound culture change, because change does not take place in a vacuum, but is developed on, or out from, or in contrast to an existing way of life. In this article John Beekman discusses some of the dangers of syncretism where the resulting behavior is out of keeping with the gospel. He also discusses the “reorientation” of Chol values and practices in the light of the gospel. This reorientation places the gospel in a framework which seems relevant to the Chol people. In a sense it is a syncretism in which pertinent elements in Chol culture are used to point toward the gospel, or are selected for the way in which they highlight the gospel to the Chol mind. At the same time they avoid the kind of mixture which points essentially toward paganism rather than toward Christ.
