Klappentext
Learning the familiar tune Jesus Loves the Little Children is a rite of passage for many children growing up in the American church today. Yet, even as our children sing of all races being precious in His sight, church demographics often chant a different chorus-one of racial segregation and cultural intolerance. Indeed, a quick glance around many of our congregations reveals churchgoers with the same-colored skin who all speak the same language. But does all this racial homogeneity please the Lord?In The Cross-Cultured Church, pastor Sanjay Purushotham reflects on the lack of racial diversity in U. S. churches. He asserts that cultural sameness runs contrary to the culture of Christ, Who desires unity-not separation-among believers. Sanjay explains how our consumer-driven culture has permeated the church and results in churches catering to and even "marketing" toward specific segments of the population. Rejecting a popular church growth-strategy that is based on the belief that growth occurs when membership is composed basically of one kind of people, Sanjay instead argues that true church growth hinges on being yoked with Christ and learning from His message and example of complete dependence and obedience to God and His selfless attitude of love toward others. Practical guidelines are then given for a congregation wishing to transition to a multiracial model.
