Every Thursday in June, we’re sharing reflections from some of the Grace DC members who participated in our March panel on cultural intelligence. This week, an anonymous Grace DC member shares how they first became interested in the subject of cultural intelligence:

My interest in this topic began with the question, “How does God, our Father, view diversity in culture, race and ethnicity? Why is it part of his plan for us to be different in these ways? What does the answer to that question say about how we are to humbly engage the people of our city?”

Our society’s conversations about race, ethnicity and culture are important, but I don’t want to stop where our society stops. My hope is that Christ’s Spirit will show our church how our cultures reflect him—ultimately equipping us to love one another better.
