Engage Difference Feb. 2026 – British Columbia – Forum for Intercultural Leadership

Five Days to Reimagine Ministry Across Cultures

Join ministry leaders and community members from across Canada for an immersive experience in intercultural engagement. Together, we’ll explore how culture shapes our identities, our faith practices, and our communities—and how we can build relationships marked by respect, curiosity, and genuine understanding.

Through dialogue, reflection, and hands-on learning, you’ll develop practical skills for navigating cultural differences and fostering spaces where everyone can belong and flourish.
