Multicultural Ministries
Methodist Churches in Europe have responded to refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, but the presence of new people has required congregations to think deeply about language, worship, and unity. The United Methodist Board of Global Ministries responded with a pilot project to train pastors and laity leading congregations affected by migration. The first session of the Institute for Multicultural Ministry was held Aug. 22-30 at The United Methodist Church of Germany Educational and Training Center in Stuttgart. Among the presenters were Dana Robert, and graduates John Calhoun, David Scott, and HiRho Park.
