MULTICULTURAL MINISTRIES

Multicultural Ministries

Multicultural Ministries is the area in which churches identify, engage, and embrace culture differences that are ethnic, socioeconomic, political, global, and generational, whether internally or externally. Multicultural Ministries is the intersection of people working with other people. We understand that the church is a culture apart from the neighborhood we live and we seek to become more relevant to the neighborhood in which we live.

Vital Congregations engage in multicultural ministry by:

• Objectively reflecting on how well the congregation loves ALL
• Being willing to implement changes so that the congregation can better love ALL
• Viewing the community as equals and partners
• Centering on a shared mission, vision, and Incarnational calling
• Developing individuals’ skills and expertise to love others and engage the neighborhood
• Having open and intentional conversation about and with people different than us

Upcoming Events

Dancing the History of Now | June 25–27 at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike
What does it mean to live fully in this moment of history? In a time that asks so much of our nervous systems, our spirits, and our communities, we gather to move, sing, and speak our way back to what is most human in us. At this three-day, "untensive" workshop we will:

• dance the moment we are living in,
• sing songs that liberate our hearts,
• hear and share stories that remind us of our common humanity,
• practice embodied tools that reduce stress and restore resilience,
• and strengthen our capacity to stay present during challenging times.

Event by InterPlay Cleveland & sponsored by Multicultural Ministries, Ohio Episcopal Area of The UMC. The last day to register is June 10, see links below for details and registration.
