Synopsis

As the injustices and pains of a multi-ethnic society are increasingly foregrounded, so the need becomes more apparent for the churches to fulfill their biblical vocation to be communities of ethnic and social diversity, joined together by a common worship and service to the Lord Jesus.

The booklet details the theological convictions that underlie becoming a multi-ethnic church. The reality of racism in the church is recognised and proposals made for how we can overcome it.
The booklet then makes specific proposals. What qualities are required in ministers? How do we recognise and draw together the gifts that come from different cultures? How can we grow amongst people of all backgrounds, not least those with whom we most struggle to make an impact? How can we develop leadership from across the whole range social and ethnic groups in our society? So that we bring our diversity together in our united worship of the our one Saviour and King.
