A MESSAGE FROM DR. TIM CLINTON
As our world and communities change, the demands for cultural competency also increase. Whatever your setting, you’re
sure to acquire valuable cultural sensitivity by joining BAACC, the newest division of the American Association of Christian
Counselors. BAACC conferences and publications bring together the best of behavioral sciences with Christ-centered care. Learn
about, and share, effective counseling techniques, expertise and culturally sensitive therapeutic models to assist those who counsel
Black African-Americans. Meet Christian counselors from diverse cultural backgrounds. I urge you to take advantage of this
opportunity to develop your skills in service to Black African-Americans and other cultural minorities within the body of Christ.
