our attention to the various cultures, which compose our communities, as well as the people we serve, implies that we put the person before our work.  The needed skills and attitudes are the ability of personal relationships, listening skills, teamwork, attention to non-verbal communication.  Indeed, our time spent in the care of these community skills is never wasted

Communication is of foremost importance in our multicultural communities, for we need to know one another values, learn the supporting concepts, and we need to pay attention to these values.  We need to form ourselves in that specific skill that some experts call “intercultural communication skills.”  Much attention needs to be given to non-verbal communication (gestures, dress code, behavior, etc…).  

We should avoid attitudes of superiority, racism and arrogance in our way of being and our relationship with others, with cultures and environments.  More over, we should avoid prejudice and stereotypes.  

We should use the local language in our communities and ministries.  This does not exclude our willingness to learn other languages, traditions, spiritualities, prayers and forms of celebration.
