In almost any modern world setting, diversity is the norm rather than the exception. Leadership, and followership are difficult when settings are not homogeneous, yet our modern world forces us to deal with the questions, issues, and challenges of diversity and pluralism.
Diversity can polarize, alienate, build barriers, or be an opportunity for growth and unity.
It can create shame, guilt, anger, or joy. The world's institutions, including its churches and schools, are becoming increasingly pluralistic. This course is directed at helping Christians identify and come to a deeper understanding of the issues caused by such diversity, in order to develop a Christian response and to be able to minister effectively. Students will work on specific projects relevant to their own ministry setting. InterVarsity Press, 1992.
