Building Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural Congregations

Posted by Annette Marquis on February 14, 2008

In my January 15, 2008 web seminar, I presented an assessment tool developed by Curtiss Paul DeYoung, Professor of Reconciliation Studies, at Bethel University, in St. Paul, Minnesota that is designed to help a congregation assess its readiness in becoming a multi-racial, multi-cultural congregation. I’ve posted a copy of the tool and more details about the tool in the PowerPoint presentation from the seminar.

You can view the entire webcast from this link: Building Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural Congregations Webcast. Click the big right-arrow in the center of the first slide to run the webcast. You might have to scroll a bit to see it all. The Webcast runs about 45 minutes.
