Churches often engage in community outreach programs, connecting with people from various cultural and faith backgrounds. Faiths Intelligence learning helps church members connect with and understand the needs of diverse communities, fostering more meaningful and impactful outreach efforts. Churches can break down barriers, dispel misconceptions and build bridges of empathy and mutual respect, which then enables open conversations about the differences between the faiths.
Participants become more appreciative of the positive role of faith communities within wider society, and will develop skills to interact well with them, with potential opportunities to apply this learning within the program through engagement with practitioners.

Faiths Intelligence learning can be tailored for your context if your interest is towards one particular group within your vicinity or workforce.
However, learning is a versatile and adaptive skill set that empowers individuals to effectively engage with diverse groups, extending beyond a singular focus, and so, is easily adaptable to let you interact with other faiths in future.

Learning about a faith community is similar to learning about cultures, requiring openness, respect and a willingness to engage in active listening whilst being mindful of sensitivities. Cultural learning skills are therefore highly useful for learning about faiths too and so it is recommended to learn about both within the one program.
