David Anderson writes about multicultural leadership not from the perspective of an ivory tower intellectual, but as a hands-on practitioner who loves and believes in the body of Christ. . . . If you believe there is no solution to the race problem, I urge you to reconsider and to learn from someone who is on the frontlines of making multicultural ministry a reality in the church today. Bill Hybels, founding and senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church Multiculturalism isnt a trend, its a reality. Evidence of this countrys rich racial mix is all around us in our schools, our stores, our neighborhoods, our recreational facilitieseverywhere except our churches. Heaven may include every culture, tongue, and tribe, but in the United States, Sunday morning remains one of the last bastions of ethnic separatism. Its time to stop merely talking about multicultural worship and start living it. In this groundbreaking book, David Anderson invites us allAfrican-American, Asian, Caucasian, and Latinoto learn how to dance the dance of multicultural ministry. Weve all got different moves, but thats the beauty of diversity: the various gifts we bring, the wisdom of our heritages, the different creative ways we express the same Lord. Think it cant be done? Think again. As Anderson demonstrates, it is being done successfully by more and more churches. Wherever your church is now on the multicultural continuum, you can join the ranks of those moving toward a diverse and thriving ministry. Combining frontline insights with inspiring stories, Anderson takes you and your church into the strategy-level realities of what it takes to make multicultural ministry work in your setting.
