- 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.
*By intercultural we mean relating to and developing meaningful relationships across racial and cultural lines in the Body of Christ.
“Connecting the willing, encouraging the reticent”
