Episode Four: The Failing Five: Marbz Diaz and How (Not) To Be A Cultural Imperialist

Marbz Dias is the National Church Relations Manager for Baptist World Aid. Coming from a Filipino background, Marbz knows personally what it's like to live in a society that is deeply scarred by the impact of a culturally insensitive colonial past.
So settle back and listen as Marbz shares with us how he made exactly that same mistake, in his dealings with an Indigenous church leader here in Australia. Marbz shares how he realised that he was bringing his own agenda into a conversation with an Indigenous leader, and failed to respect and understand their culture. 
Ouch! But he definitely gets full marks for honesty and vulnerability!

You’ve probably worked out by now that the magic secret when it comes to failure is the ability to reflect on mistakes and learn. And that’s what I do in my work as a Pastoral Supervisor which I do through my business, Generation Leadership.

If you are looking for a Pastoral Supervisor to help you reflect on your work and ministry practice, I currently have some openings. So go to my website to find out more

I’d love to work with you and provide a safe space to reflect on what you are currently doing, and what you can learn. Check it out!
