Missions and Intercultural Studies for Talbot A division of the Cook School of Intercultural Studies Faculty Chair: Thomas J. Sappington, Th.D. Professors: Lessard-Clouston, Liang, McMahan, Pennoyer, Purgason, Starcher Associate Professors: Campbell, Decker, Dzubinski, Greene, Nehrbass, Pittle, Sappington, Yeh Assistant Professors: S. Barber, Bongoyok, Floyd, Sanchez Objectives Christian leaders today, whether working in their own country or in another country, are usually working in cross-cultural contexts. Leaders must be prepared with ministerial skills that will enable them in penetrating and leading effectively in the midst of ethnic complexity and multiculturalism. Christian leaders must be able to exegete the scriptures and exegete the social context in which they work. By linking the Missions and Intercultural Studies program with the Cook School of Intercultural Studies, Talbot provides the M.Div. student an opportunity to study with theological and missiology faculty. This program is designed to provide training based on sound biblical and missiological principles that have been proven valuable in missions, pastoral leadership, cross- cultural ministry and human service. Any Talbot student may take elective courses through the Cook School of Intercultural Studies.
