David Ireland, pastor of a multiracial megachurch in New Jersey and
diversity consultant to the NBA, equips Christians to usher in a
new era of racial reconciliation in One in Christ. Racial
disharmony is tearing communities apart, both inside and outside
the church. But Jesus Christ is, and was, a great reconciler.
Warmth, regard, and respect emanated from His person toward
others---all others. Part of this allure was the fact Jesus was
comfortable in His skin. This made others who approached Him
comfortable in their skin. This quality fuels the deconstruction of
walls---the tearing down of barriers that keep us apart. In One in
Christ, Ireland shows us that this quality can be learned. In fact,
at the cellular structure of Christianity is the ability to be
cross-cultural. The Great Commission proclaims it. Jesus said,
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19).
The word nation is the Greek word ethnos, where we derive the
English word ethnic. In essence, the last charge Jesus gave was for
His followers to become cross-cultural ambassadors. This is not
optional, Ireland says: We must each become racially accommodating.
