As the church continues to hear and heed Christ's call to reflect
the multiethnic character of his people, pastors and lay leaders
need to gain skills and competencies to serve in those contexts.
The multicultural team of Juan Martinez and Mark Branson has
written this book to equip such leaders to create environments that
make God's reconciling initiatives apparent in church life and in
our missional engagement with neighborhoods and cities. Generated
by courses they teach at Fuller Theological Seminary, Branson and
Martinez take an interdisciplinary approach that integrates
biblical and theological study with the disciplines of sociology,
cultural anthropology and communications. The result is a rich
blend of astute analysis with guidance for practical implementation
of a deeper intercultural life for the church. Case studies, Bible
studies and exercises for personal reflection and classroom use
connect the real life and everyday challenges that inevitably arise
in multi-ethnic contexts. Martinez and Branson offer not static
model but a praxis of "paying attention," reflection and study that
can lead to a genuine reconciliation and shared life empowered by
the gospel that is personal, interpersonal, cultural and
structural.
