Intercultural Competency in Canadian Churches

The Faith Today Podcast

Does your church look like the neighbourhood where you live? Hosts Karen Stiller and Sammy Kyereme speak with Dorothy Pang, Director of the Tyndale Intercultural Ministries Centre, about intercultural competency among Canadian churches/faith organizations. How do we better interact with people of different stories, ethnicities and backgrounds? What are the emerging realities for church goers in urban city centres and the worship experiences of second and third generation Canadians? Dorothy Pang brings 25 years of experience in law, business, and executive leadership to the TIM Centre team. She is passionate about creating collaborative environments where diverse teams can thrive and organizational health is optimized. Pang holds a Certificate in Intercultural Studies from UBC and is a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (ID) and a certified facilitator of the Intercultural Conflict Styles (ICS) assessment. Dorothy is a dynamic facilitator and public speaker. For 10 years, Dorothy was an executive leader in a large intercultural church in northeast Toronto. She is passionate about helping churches embrace the Rev 7:9 church – a place where all are wholly seen, accepted, and understood.
