Faith Seeking Understanding
Santo Nino, Fall 2021 (August - November)
Faith Seeking Understanding: Intercultural Competencies for Pastoral Ministry
Instructor: Dr. John Chitakure ([email protected])
Course Description:
This course will involve more group dynamics than lectures.
This course explores cultural identities, and differences in values, attitudes, perceptions of power, communication dynamics. Participants will identify and evaluate the conscious and unconscious values and attitudes that affect their ability to relate to and work with people of various cultures. It will also help participants develop a better understanding of racism and how it is built by systems of power that give privilege to certain cultural groups at the expense of others. Finally, it encourages participants to acquire intercultural competencies, which can be used in pastoral ministries and society.
