Building Multi-Racial Churches

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.

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.Read less
