For the most part, people associate Burma, or Myanmar, with pagodas and Buddhist monks, but in reality, the country is much more diverse. Its multi-faith population comprises Christians, Hindus, and Muslim communities in addition to the majority Buddhist Burmans. The population's ethnic makeup also includes Shan, Karen, Kachin, Kayah, Mon, and Chin peoples, among others. In this episode, special guest LungLunng Kutza, a Christian Chin based in Thailand, discusses the Matupi Chin group's customs, traditions, food, and the thriving Christian community he belongs to. He also teaches us basic Chin greetings and the Burmese equivalent of common Biblical terms and phrases. (Photo of LungLunng Kutza and wife, Kate, courtesy of LungLunng); Music clips from Uppbeat.io)
