Bethany Christian Services
Cultural Diversity Statement

Bethany believes that ethnic and cultural diversity is taught and commanded by God and that as Christians, we have a responsibility to reach out to each other across racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, to further his Kingdom.

In addition, we believe that cultural diversity and cultural competence within our staff and boards are strengths that protects children, empower individuals to grow, and helps Bethany achieve excellence.

Our Commitments
Bethany will openly support and hold each other accountable for adhering to these principals:

  • Bethany will serve children and families, regardless of their cultural, racial and ethnic backgrounds.
  • Bethany will expand the knowledge of its board members, staff, and clients regarding cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity.
  • Bethany will recruit board members and hire staff who affirm the value and equality of individuals from all cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.
  • Bethany will be culturally and racially diverse and sensitive in all its forms of communication, both internal and external.

From the adoption agency's Statement of Faith: Bethany believes that ethnic and cultural diversity is taught and commanded by God and that as Christians, we have a responsibility to reach out to each other across racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, to further his Kingdom.

I know I'm nit picking, but....When did people stop capitalizing pronouns that refer to God? When I was in elementary school, we were taught those pronouns should be capitalized. I've noticed a lot of people have stopped doing that. Am I imagining things? Have some of you noticed it too?

Last I checked, theology wasn't culture, but you may disagree with this.
