Diversity by Design: Intercultural Leadership Development for Multiethnic Witnessing Communities
No full textThis dissertation seeks to design antiracism leadership training for white students and staff members involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA’s Graduate and Faculty Ministries (GFM). The issue prompting this study was a need for leadership training around students’ intercultural experiences. In part I, I argue that the biblical vision of multiethnic witnessing communities (MEWCs) is particularly hindered by the problem of whiteness and that adaptive leadership is necessary to address this problem. MEWCs can be effectively advanced through intercultural leadership development (ILD) that is intentionally facilitated through an adaptive instructional design. Part II uses semistructured interviews and focus groups to study InterVarsity graduate students’ learning needs in relation to multiethnic issues. The data suggest that most graduate students have had significant intercultural experiences but that they are receiving little to no training around these experiences in relation to multiethnic issues. I draw conclusions about (1) the universal potential for ILD among InterVarsity graduate students and (2) the particular need for more training on multiethnic issues among white students. Part III recommends antiracist communities of practice for white InterVarsity staff and graduate students to facilitate ILD. While the instructional design presented is specific to InterVarsity GFM, antiracist communities of practice could be used to develop intercultural leaders and advance MEWCs in other contexts.

Leadership and Vision: Moving From a Patriarchal Model to a Plurality of Elders
Get PDFThe goal of this project is to establish a new leadership structure for Cornerstone Evangelical Baptist Church in Vancouver, Canada. Currently, Cornerstone is led by the founding pastor, and as he approaches retirement, a new structure needs to be put in place. The thesis argues that a plurality of leaders, versus a single patriarchal leader, is a healthier form of governance. This process needs to be carefully studied and implemented with special consideration of Confucius ideology, which influences many Chinese churches. A plurality of leaders serving alongside a pastor will help discern and articulate a clear purpose and vision for the church.
Through an examination of Scripture, church leadership has always been done in a group or a team. There are clear distinctions between elders, deacons, and full-time staff. The goal for Cornerstone is to create a structure that utilizes and empowers each group for effective service. This is a five-year process of training and reorganizing. Most of the training occurs at the annual leaders’ retreat. Specific workshops have been developed for discovering Cornerstone’s purpose, addressing conflict resolution, building the leadership team, setting goals, and creating a vision statement and strategy plan. This process concludes with a congregational vote to amend the bylaws to reflect the changes to the leadership structure of the church. The board of directors and the senior pastor will lead this new structure and serve as the spiritual leaders of the church
