The course introduces students to different world views (African, Asian, Western) and cultural diversity. The effects of cultural & worldview differences on people’s religious outlook are discussed. Students are encouraged to think about the way Christians should deal with cultural difference in general and in the context of church and para-church ministries. In equipping students to minister in an increasingly multi-cultural society, students learn how to overcome cross-cultural stumbling blocks and to communicate the Gospel effectively and make disciples of Christ across cultures.
Held over zoom, you don’t even need to leave home to benefit from this course! And because all sessions are recorded, if the live teaching time doesn’t suit you, registered students can access and watch them at a convenient time of their own choosing.
There are two ways to get involved:
- You can audit the course – simply taking part, enjoying the teaching and online fellowship, and benefitting from lots of notes and materials
- you can submit assessments – completing an assignment for marking and gaining EBC study credits
The course starts on Tuesday 4th October 2022 and runs from 11.00am – 1.00pm each Tuesday morning during College term time. Specific dates will be provided.
The cost is:
