- Intercultural Leadership Consultation:
October 20, 2007
Greg Detwiler writes: The Intercultural Leadership Consultation (ILC) is a sequel to the Multicultural Leadership Consultation (MLC) which was held in Boston in 2002. The ILC will be larger in size and scope, representing more people groups and a wider geography (i.e., New England) than the original MLC. It will also serve as a prelude to the national City Impact Roundtable which will be hosted in Boston in April 2008. The specific purposes of the 2007 Intercultural Leadership Consultation are:1) To better understand & articulate what God is doing in New England via the perspective of ethnically diverse leadership and Intercultural* Dialogue; 2) To foster Intercultural Kingdom Relationships 3) To foster Intercultural Learning …all with the aim of strengthening and advancing the Kingdom of God in our region and world.

Spanish translators needed for New Bedford raid court hearings
Mary Holper writes: I'm writing to you because we are in desperate need for translators for bond hearings for the many people picked up in the raids at New Bedford last week, most of whom are women from El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala - there were about 350 arrested in total, and approximately 70 are still in detention in New England. There has been an amazing outpouring of support from attorneys, mostly at private firms, to take the cases for at least the bond hearings. However, not all of these attorneys speak Spanish - that is why I'm calling on you to volunteer. [more...] - Wednesday, 14th of March
