EQUIPPING THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS FOR GLOBAL FAITH-BASED SERVICE

Abstract: North American theological education institutions are increasingly aware of the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization, and many have welcomed more international students, expanded missiology course offerings, and encouraged cross-cultural encounters. A more intentional relationship between international religious voluntary organizations and theological educational institutions is needed in three areas: mapping Christian traditions of international service, promoting further partnerships, and facilitating assessment. Historically black colleges, universities, and theological seminaries are among the most effective educational institutions perpetuating volunteerism. As students encounter individuals of different race, faith, and socioeconomic status, their theological education should equip them with methodologies that deepen their understanding of cultural diversity.
