Our communities are bursting with people who have come from all around the world. Leaving their previous way of life, they are open to new ideas in a way they have never been before. We have a wonderful opportunity to reach out to them with the Christian message, but how do we do this? Their thinking and way of life is so different to ours. How can we build bridges to them? Cultural Intelligence is the ability to understand and interact appropriately in cross-cultural settings. It includes knowledge, skills and attitudes that enable deep trusting relationships where the gospel can be shared in a way that is compelling. Cultural Intelligence can be learned and developed. This course is an introduction to Cultural Intelligence and includes practical steps to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes you need.
