Daniel Hill will never forget the day he heard these words: "Daniel, you may be white, but don't let that lull you into thinking you have no culture. White culture is very real. In fact, when white culture comes in contact with other cultures, it almost always wins. So it would be a really good idea for you to learn about your culture."

But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings—from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals.
