Intercultural Studies
Prepare for Missions in a Cross-Cultural Context
Some students in this Master’s Degree program are getting ready for cross-cultural ministry; some are furthering their education while on leave from their current placements; and others are in ministry in a multicultural North America. All of them are interested in breaking down the “us and them” paradigm by learning about the economic, cultural and ethnic boundaries that divide people. As the Western church becomes a minority in secular cultures, a powerful identity can be found as part of a global community that transcends those divisions.
