Description of Activity
Welcome participants and remind them of the spirit of their covenant. Share the Goals and Learning Objectives for this workshop.
Light the chalice and share these words from writer and educator Paul Kivel:
Cultural competence is not something we have or don't have. It is a process of learning about and becoming allies with people from other cultures, thereby broadening our own understanding and ability to participate in a multicultural process. The key element to becoming more culturally competent is respect for the ways that others live in and organize the world and an openness to learn from them.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
