A VINCENTIAN GUIDE TO
DIVERSITY/MULTICULTURAL ISSUES
$3.50 each (Catalog #1800) |
Why do we assume that everyone else in the world is, or that they should be, "just like us?" This question is perhaps the first and most important one for Vincentians, because it suggests that we all need to change our way of thinking about the world. We need to open our
our eyes in childlike wonder to the incredible multicultural Face of God!
This guide is a tool to help Vincentians begin this process and to help them see diversity as a genuine blessing and as a necessary way to encounter a global world that needs the Society's presence more than ever. As one Vincentian member recently remarked: "We are all parts of a universal puzzle. We need to put all the pieces together. Isn't it marvelous that we are all different? Each one of us has skills and gifts to share. When we put that expertise and gifts together, we can do extraordinary things."
