Since it is from the Church, I hope I am not hurting anyone. “humble” is not quite accurate. “modest” is more suitable here.

i beg to differ...humble has the same meaning as modest, or not arrogant. i still think this is the best considering the audience (westerners).

Well, they are not exactly same. Most of time, they can be used interchangeably.
modest = 谦虚; humble = 谦卑;This example is from English-Chinese Dictionary, Shanghai Publishing House 1985:
谦虚使人进步，骄傲使人落后
Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you are facing a bureaucrat, you want to use “humble”;
When you are facing a top student of yours, you want to use “modest” instead.

我明白其中的细微差别，但是二者主要词义相同（附上dictionary.com的解释），此处通用不会引起歧义；而且humble跟stumble齐韵，琅琅上口印象深刻。

我就曾经需要过。翻译一个中国进修官员对培训的评价，当时他用了一句中国俗话，我翻不出来，只好把寓意直说了。但象‘谦虚。。骄傲。。’这些话，根本解释不清楚，文化差异，人不理解。

这句话是错的，不必要翻译了。在职场上，没有谦虚这个词，骄傲代表着自信。

然。 不是每个中文词都有精确的英文对应的。西方人没有中国人那么看中谦虚，所以用来形容谦虚的词汇没有中文那么确定，因场合而异。西方人更推崇的态度是assertiveness. 现代中文里最接近的表达要用四个字：不卑不亢。古汉语的中庸更简洁xie，不过中庸一词早已被现代中国人曲解，面目全非了。

酱油兄所言很有见地。如果你实在需要用到"谦虚”这个词，请往下看“谦虚”，在中文里，我觉得至少有三个意义
1. 虽然你的身份很高（比方说你是省长），但是和别人相处，你没有架子，不认为自己比别人高（或者至少不表现出来）。这种“谦虚”，英文里是humble
2. 虽然你有很大的成就，但在和别人相处的时候，你不去强调，只是说那些成就也算不上什么，是大家的功劳，云云，这个"谦虚”在英文里是modest
3. 你虽然学问很高，但还是经常不耻下问，这种“谦虚”我不知道英文里叫什么。如果一定要在modest或者humble里找一个词，我觉得modest更合适一些。
