The Caring Congregation explores how different cultures and ethnicities impact and are impacted by care ministry!
[Kansas City], June 2026 ] — Understanding of and respect for others is more important today than ever before. When we give care to others, it is vital to be cognizant of the cultural context of those receiving care. Our understanding of what others might expect from us impacts how we offer care and how our efforts are received.
This study, which includes video discussion with United Methodist Bishops Delores Williamston and David Wilson, plus the Rev. Jin Cho, delves into how care is practiced in African American, Native American and Korean cultures. This small group curriculum encourages you to consider how being present and listening to those with a different world view than your own can prepare you to offer care that is sensitive and relevant.
It took intentional openness, prayer and respectful conversation around three specific cultures and from three individual ministry professionals.
Our participants shared their experiences as a part of their respective cultures. They also shared observations on caring for others in their cultures and communities.
Bishop Wilson is bishop of the Great Plains Conference of the UMC. Bishop Williamston is bishop of the Louisiana Conference of the United Methodist Church. The Rev. Cho is the District Superintendent of the Northeast Kansas District of the UMC.
