Becoming multicultural dancers: the pastoral practitioner in a multicultural society.

Abstract

Uses a dance metaphor in describing pastoral practice. Describes multicultural realities of the United States and argues for the multicultural competencies in the practice of ministry. Details three challenges to overcome: 1) unintentional racism, 2) making visible the invisibility of monoculturalism and "Whiteness," and 3) embracing the complexity of multicultural lived realities.
