瓦因·德洛里亚

The breakup of Christianity during the Reformation into national churches and the proliferation of denominations today would seem to indicate that a religious universality cannot be successfully maintained across racial and ethnic lines. ... Ethnicity will almost always triumph.

中文翻译：宗教改革后基督教分裂为各民族教会，以及今日教派不断增多，似乎表明宗教的普遍性无法跨越种族与族群界线而稳定维持……族群关系几乎总会占上风。

思想提示：德洛里亚以历史经验质疑脱离地方和族群关系的抽象普遍主义，强调思想必须面对具体共同体。
