Honor and Shame in Refugee Ministry: Navigating Communication, Friendship and Finances
If you’re currently volunteering/working among refugees or have attended our Refugee Ministry 101 Workshop, this is for you!
Most of our refugee neighbors come from cultures where honor is key—the pursuit of honor (and the avoidance of shame) shapes almost every aspect of everyday life. This concept is relatively foreign to most Westerners, but we need to understand it in order to have healthy relationships with our foreign-born neighbors.
Part 2 of this 2-part workshop series will focus on how honor-shame dynamics affect communication, friendship and finances.
