Developing a Culture
Various groups have cultures of their own be it a family culture, a local culture or a national culture.

Tyndale burned for translating the Bible
On October 6, 1536, William Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake for translating the Scriptures into English for the common man. He was accused of heresy and given an opportunity to recant, but used his last words to pray with a loud voice, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes!”
Within four years of his death, several English translations of the Bible were published in England at the King’s request, all based on Tyndale’s work.
