Abstract
Awareness and appreciation of the many cultures that constitute Church membership will enhance one’s sense of Catholic identity. The notion of universality relates to beliefs at the heart of Catholicism, such as the oneness of the human family and respect for the life and dignity of every person. The more we know of the cultures of the “other” the more likely we are to understand their hopes and dreams, their joys and sorrows. In light of these foundational teachings, the mission of Catholic higher education should include programs that expand the cultural horizons of their students. This paper examines the significance of culture for the Church, and provides illustrations of how Catholic higher education institutions are developing cultural competence among their faculty and students.
