Intercultural Learning Exchange

Intercultural Learning Exchange Report

Theme: Made in the Image and Likeness of God

Context: Pre-gathering learning exchange for the Weave Gathering event, Manchester (5–6 February)

1. Purpose and Spirit of the Learning Exchange

This Intercultural Learning Exchange was created as a shared space of preparation, listening, and reflection ahead of the upcoming gathering in Manchester. It was not designed to rush toward conclusions, but to slow the pace and shape hearts and minds for deeper engagement.

Weave friends gathered from a wide range of cultural, theological, and ministry journeys. What held the room together was a shared desire to understand how the Church can live faithfully and generously within culturally diverse contexts. The exchange reflected a core Weave conviction: intercultural learning is something we do with one another, not to one another.
