Culture

“Worship leaders are those who gather the gifts of the global church and steward the talents of their diverse communities. Cultural intelligence is as valuable as musical aptitude. Worship leaders need not attempt to become experts in all cross-cultural practices of worship. But they must learn to appreciate and adapt to different cultures in order to extend hospitality, stand in solidarity, and mutually share in the abundant resources God has given the church (see Sandra Maria Van Opstal, The Next Worship, IVP, 2015, p. 74).”
