In a world that is more interconnected than ever before, we encounter ever-increasing diversity in the communities in which we live and work. Differences in culture, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, generation, religion, and other aspects of life and identity abound, raising complex questions for all of us.
This course will address key questions about life, leadership, and discipleship in a diverse world and diverse communities. These include:
• How do we engage effectively across differences?
• How can a deeper understanding of our differences inform how we lead?
• How do we love our global and local neighbours in ways that are meaningful to them?
• How can we develop “cultural fluency” in our relationships?
• How do we lead in a way that is truly effective—even transformative—across difference?
• What are the implications for Christian leaders and practitioners serving in diverse contexts?
