Sacred Conversations: Using Social Media to Minister to Your Church and Commu...
Social media is more than Facebook and Twitter timelines filled with LOLCats and selfies. Social media is people reaching out to people. Pastors and leaders can minister the love of Christ through conversations to the people in their church and community through the tools of social media. This session will cover some of the social media tools available, their best use for pastors and leaders, and provide examples of how social media is being used for ministry.

Culture is learned. It is passed down through groups of people. This assignment is designed to help you reflect on and identify your cultural background.
Because culture must come from somewhere, I would like you to think about the following questions by reflecting on the values and customs you were
taught
as you were growing up, either by your family of origin or cultural group. If you feel that you had other important cultural influences, please include those in your responses.
In addition to responding to the questions, you may add any other information that you feel is important to you and your cultural identity. Remember that this paper should be useful to
you
in understanding your cultural background, and so
you
must decide what is important to include and what you feel comfortable sharing.
I will grade this assignment on thorough answers and your demonstrated understanding of what culture is, where it comes from, and how your values and traditions are unique.
Please answer the following questions in paragraph form. You should have at least 1 paragraph for each numbered section. You do not have to answer each individual question, though the questions are designed to give insight into cultural practices representative of each area. Include specific examples that show both the
how
and
why
of your practices.
1. Family
Who is in your family? Who lives together?
Is there a hierarchy of authority in your family and how does it work?
What are some of the strong values of your family?
What are the roles of the children in the family?
What are the values regarding discipline and how important is it? How is it enforced?
Who is responsible if someone misbehaves?
Who can disagree with whom in the family?
What is the importance of the individual family member vs. the family as a whole?
2. Life Cycle
Are there any attitudes, expectations or behaviors towards individuals in your family or community at different stages of life? For example: What are the expectations/ behaviors of how the elderly are treated? parents? children? anyone else? Is one stage of life more valued than another? Is any stage more difficult? How do you commemorate, if at all, the changing of one age or stage of life to the next? Are there any special commemorations?
3. Communication
What language(s) are used in your family? Is this the same language used in the community? Is the language a written language, and how important is it to know the written form?
Are there any characteristics of “speaking well”? Is this emphasized or not? How do people greet each other?
Does this differ depending on the age of the people?
4. Interpersonal Relationships
What is expected behavior for males and females? Are there behaviors that are considered unacceptable?
How do men/ women or girls/ boys interact? Does it change at different ages?
Is it acceptable for family members to express and share feelings? What are the beliefs and values involving the expression of feelings?

Assignment 2: Cultural Sensitivity Paper-International/Global Perspective
(Total: 100 Points) – Competency 2: (P.B. 2.1, 2.2. & 2.3); Competency 4 (P.B. 4.1, 4.2, 4.3); Competency 5 (P.B. 5.3) – Due Date: September 14, 2020
A major value in social work is the respect and dignity of people of all cultures and races. Social workers understand how diversity and cultural values characterize and shape the human life experiences, and how they may oppress, marginalize, alienate, or create or enhance privilege and power. Cultural sensitivity is an important aspect of understanding, accepting, and appreciating differences in all people and aware of personal biases and values when working width diverse groups. Therefore, the challenge starts with the “self.” It is not necessary to know your exact family tree to be able to explore your “ethnicity.” If you know nothing, you can start looking for clues such as your racial makeup, the names in your family (English, German, etc.), or where you and other family members grew up. Then look at some of your customs, what your religion is, and think of some stories you may have heard as a child. Chances are you will be on the trail of discovering who you are. Even if you are not sure about your background, you can most likely identify with one group more than others. There is no minimum length of the paper, but the paper must be properly written and all the following items must be addressed:
A.
Exploration of your own cultural background:
1. What do you believe is your cultural background? With what ethnic group do you most identify? African American 2. Describe anything distinguishing about your culture that sets it apart from others, such as a common religion, a common geographic region, a separate language, etc.?
3. For the ethnic group you select, describe their customary behaviors and attitudes regarding each of the following: I am African American.
a. The role of each family member.... (i.e., how do they relate to each other? Mother and Father are both at home. Who makes the decisions? My father makes the decisions Who cooks? My mother and father both cooks. Who works outside home? both my parents work outside the home. Who has the most power?). My father has the most power.
b. Selection of a life-long partner (For you and/or for your parents when they were growing up.) Is marriage important? marriage is very important as both my parents are religious (missionary baptist) we attended church all of our lives.
c. Earning a living what does "success” mean in your culture? success is very important and getting a college degree is very important in our family. Does your family or culture consider some occupations better than others. no, just having a job is good.
d. Methods of communications: Is it okay to express affection? yes. Anger? yes. Other emotions? yes. Can everyone speak out or must they “hold their tongue? yes.
4. What are your earliest memories of meeting people wi.

Jude: Practical Exhortations_Jude 17-23.pptx
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
