{"product_id":"the-multicultural-leader-developing-a-catholic-personality-second-edition","title":"The Multicultural Leader: Developing a Catholic Personality, Second Edition","description":"This book is intended as a resource for provoking dialogue on the nature of leadership in\nmulticultural congregations. When the first edition was written, more than a decade ago, there\nwas a limited pool of resources available to help practitioners in the field, even less addressing\nthe Canadian context. Dan Sheffield brought a missiologist's perspective to this discussion\nthat had been shaped by lived experience in North America's multi-ethnic reality and churchplanting\nexperience in post-apartheid, urban South Africa.\nOver the past decade, however, a proliferation of resources on multi-ethnic, intercultural,\nmulti-racial, multicultural churches have entered the marketplace. Again, almost all written\nthrough the lens of the American experience, and often, focused on the mechanics of\nmulticultural community, rather than the challenges specific to the leadership task. With\nanother 15 years under his belt, of working with leaders in multi-ethnic congregations across\nCanada, USA, Mumbai, Manila, Accra, Bangkok and Budapest, Sheffield brings further\nreflection on the development of intercultural leadership skills.\nThis second edition of The Multicultural Leader deals with the role of congregational\nleadership in embedding the multicultural vision as a way of \"seeing.\" The author draws\nfrom various disciplines to develop a profi le of leaders necessary to initiate and sustain the\nmulticultural congregation. Sheffield's conclusion is that leaders in multi-ethnic congregations\nmust move through a developmental process from an ethnocentric, monocultural perspective\nto a multi-ethnic, intercultural approach in order to serve as enablers of multicultural\ncongregations.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1926798708\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1926798708.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sheffield, Dan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43320390516797,"sku":"BVV.1926798708.VG","price":16.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1926798708-0.jpg?v=1783112674","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-multicultural-leader-developing-a-catholic-personality-second-edition","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
