This seminar, held Monday, September 24, 2018 through Friday, September 28, 2018, by Dr. Whiteman will look at the real problems of crossing cultural boundaries with the Gospel. To understand better the source of these problems and develop approaches to overcome them, the Seminar will focus on the concept of culture, the challenge of distinguishing the Gospel from North American values, and understanding how conversion must relate to people’s worldviews. Cosponsored by Franciscan Missionaries of Mary & TMS Global
