This is where the growth of the Church is very evident. In different countries and amongst different cultures and customs, the Church is able to adapt for the needs of the people. Though the rituals and traditions stay the same in every Catholic church around the world, how these are celebrated can differ. For example, I have seen a traditional Samoan dance in full cultural dress during the offertory procession. I have also seen a traditional Philippino dance during the presentation of the word. In a Maori catholic church, often traditional calls from a woman in the church rings around during the elevation. In terms of age, I have seen kids being called right up to the altar during the eucharistic prayer so they can see exactly whats going on and be part of the consecration. The church is flexible in terms of celebrating cultures. It also helps us all to celebrate our differences and the cultures God has given us to share with others. Rather aptly, that is why the name Catholic was given to the church - catholic means universal and universal means extending to all.
