Culture and Generosity—One-size-fits-all no longer works Increasingly, cultural diversity in the Adventist Church has grown as population shifts occurred and immigration expanded our membership numbers. So has the awareness that culture influences generosity and that fundraising practices need to adapt to those influences. Appeals for offerings and funds for programs and projects must be adapted culturally, and requests for financial support should take place with cultural consciousness in mind. This session addresses the cultural differences in generosity and suggests practices for including all in the joy of giving. |
