How do I handle what looks like “incorrect” roles for men, women, and children when I am crossing cultures for Christ? Do I work for change? Do I remain silent? Moving across cultures can bring clarity to your own identity and culture(s) of origin. It can also spark an array of feelings and thoughts—“things are sure done differently around here!” Together, well think about what it means to “become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some” (St. Paul in I Corinthians). Come share your experiences and ideas. Well form a learning community and reason together about this complex cultural tension in the global mission of the church.
