Culture, Ethnicity, and Diversity
Challenge your assumptions about “others”: other people, other cultures, other ethnicities. This course will replace tension with truth, hope, and love. You will come to see yourself and people from every culture and ethnicity as God’s children. You will receive a DAI certificate when you complete this course.
You’ll Learn To …
- Define culture, ethnicity, and diversity
- Show the biblical foundations of diversity
- Appreciate that God created “all people”
- Explore the power of reconciliation and forgiveness
- Explain reconciliation as “Missio Dei,” the mission of God
