Twenty-first-century society is diverse, and Christians must be
able to understand other cultures and communicate effectively
between and among them. Following up on the bestselling "Hurt:
Inside the World of Today's Teenagers," this new addition to the
Youth, Family, and Culture series explores the much-needed skill of
Cultural Intelligence (CQ), the ability to work effectively across
national, ethnic, and even organizational cultures. While rooted in
sound, scholarly research, "Cultural Intelligence "is highly
practical and accessible to general readers. It will benefit
students as well as guide ministry leaders interested in increasing
their cultural awareness and sensitivity. Packed with assessment
tools, simulations, case studies, and exercises, "Cultural
Intelligence "will help transform individuals and organizations
into effective intercultural communicators of the gospel.
EXCERPT
What do you do when you encounter someone who isn't like you? How
do you feel? What goes on inside you? How do you relate to him or
her? These are the kinds of questions we want to explore in this
book. Few things are more basic to life than expressing love and
respect for people who look, think, believe, act, and see
differently than we do. We want to adapt to the barrage of cultures
around us while still remaining true to ourselves. We want to let
the world change us so that we can be part of changing the world.
And we want to move from the "desire" to love across the chasm of
cultural difference to the "ability" to express our love for people
of difference. Relating lovingly to our fellow human beings is
central to what it means to be human. And when it comes down to it,
Christian ministry at its core is interacting with all kinds of
people in ways that give them glimpses of Jesus in us.
The billions of us sharing planet Earth together have so much in
common. We're all born. We all die. We're all created in the image
of God. We eat, sleep, persevere, and care for our young. We long
for meaning and purpose, and we develop societies with those around
us. But the way we go about the many things we have in common is
deeply rooted in our unique personalities and cultures. So although
we have so much in common, we have as much or more about us that's
different.
