Learning to Celebrate Diversity
•The oneness of “Zion” requires correct
knowledge about the cultural
backgrounds of the members of our organizations
–Accentuate the positive–the world is
not a slum, and the
definitions and standards for “poverty” vary with economic and cultural conditions
•Include
members from other nationalities in active and significant roles–use interpreters if
necessary
•Be patient and respectful with
cultural "idiosyncrasies"
