The most successful apostolic approaches have always been the ones geared most closely to the character and needs of the particular lifeway. Missionary effectiveness has always gone hand in hand with immersion in local cultures. St. Paul, Ricci de Nobili, and other great apostles of the past had, of course, no choice but to rely on their own innate anthropological sense; today, however, to rely on anything less han a Science of Medicine.
