2 BUILDING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCE FOR MINISTERS (BICM) TRAINING WORKSHOP Hello and welcome! Congratulations on taking a step to bring Intercultural Competence to your arch/diocese or catholic organization. The goal of the Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church is that ministry leaders who attend these trainings increase their capacity to welcome, receive, and encourage all emerging cultural groups to assume their role of leadership in the Church and, in turn, to train other ministry leaders to do the same. This formation program aims to prepare ministry leaders to: Articulate the general outlines of a theology and spirituality of ministry in intercultural settings, including the manner in which the Magisterium understands the concepts of evangelization, the New Evangelization, and inculturation. Increase the awareness regarding how to communicate appropriately with persons and groups in cultures other than one's own. Increase the awareness regarding how to communicate effectively with persons and groups in cultures other than one's own. Gain the ability to identify and articulate patterns of prejudice that impede intergroup interaction. Provide a rationale for the inclusion and integration of diverse cultural groups into the life and mission of the parish and diocese. Teach the content of the five modules with confidence. The Training of Trainers Workshop provides an opportunity for ministers to attain a foundational first level of competence in intercultural relations and communication.
