STMM 560 - Ministry in a Multicultural Context

3 credit hours

This course explores the dimensions of culture and the relationship between culture and ministry. Participants will identify their own cultural and co-cultural lenses, gain an understanding of power differences as they are expressed culturally, begin to explore communication differences, and enter a mini-cultural immersion. They will reflect on how culture impacts theology and spiritual expression. They will begin to develop a ministerial identity and practice that embraces cultural diversity within a ministerial context. Prerequisite: STMM 553.
