When the church began, an amazing diversity of people from
different geographic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds gathered
together to confess a common faith in Jesus Christ. The apostle
Paul cast a vision of one body where Jew and Gentile would worship
together in unity. The Revelation to John likewise foreshadows an
eternal future where all nations will join together at the throne
of the Lamb. Sadly, Christianity has not often lived up to this
ideal. The history of the church has been marked by continued
segregation, ethnic strife and racial division. But at the dawn of
a new millennium, hopeful signs of change are emerging. As society
diversifies, local churches find themselves interacting with people
from every tribe and tongue. But not every church is equipped to
handle the realities of ethnic and racial diversity in their
congregational life. Sociologist George Yancey's groundbreaking
research on multiracial churches offers key principles for church
leaders who want to minister to people from a variety of racial and
cultural backgrounds. Insights from real-life congregations provide
concrete examples of how churches can welcome those who have been
marginalized, giving people of all heritages a sense of ownership
and partnership in the life of the church. Based on data from a
landmark Lilly Endowment study of multiracial churches across
America, this volume offers insights and implications for church
leadership, worship styles, conflict resolution and much more. Here
is an essential resource for pastors and church leaders committed
to cultural, ethnic and racial reconciliation in their
congregations.
