Vocations Interculturality Workshop
On Friday, June 13th, Sr. Christine Marie Baltas, MSC and Vocation Team Coordinator Nancy Costello attended a workshop sponsored by the National Religious Vocations Conference (NRVC) on Candidate Assessment through the Lens of Interculturality which took place at the Sisters of the Redeemer in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Vocation directors from seventeen religious congregations were in attendance.
The workshop, presented by Crystal Taylor-Dietz, PsyD addressed how to respectfully gather the information needed from candidates without stereotyping, generalizing, or minimizing behaviors that can make community life challenging. It also explored the blind spots, microaggressions, and implicit biases vocation ministers might have during candidate interviews.
