Intercultural Competence. Bishops, CEC members, and LMC staff have all completed the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) during 2021. This initial IDI work helps LMC establish a baseline as long-term work is undertaken to increase intercultural competency within LMC. With more than half of LMC congregations made up of people of color, increased intercultural competency is seen as essential for mission success. Karl McKinney, a new staff member, will manage a Legacy Foundation grant for this work, oversee the administration of the IDI, and work at increasing intercultural competence within LMC leadership and congregations.
