MInistering Cross-Culturally : An Incarnational Model for Personal Relationships
Outline: When missionaries and pastors minister to people from different cultural and social backgrounds, they invariably experience tension and conflict. To reduce this tension and improve the quality of their ministries, they should study Ministering Cross-Culturally. Marvin K. Mayers's basic-values model, which he has greatly refined since publishing it in 1974, provides the theoretical base for this approach to improving relationships between people of different cultures. Numerous illustrations drawn from Sherwood Lingenfelter's years in Yap serve to ground and enliven the discussion. In evaluating the cultural differences highlighted in the model of basic values, the authors draw heavily on the Bible.
