Description
One of the Church of England’s central aims is that it should become more diverse. This book is a contribution to the debate on how the church nationally and locally might better represent the cultural diversity of the communities which it is called to serve.
'One of the most encouraging developments in the church today is the growth of intercultural congregations. When I encounter churches that have taken seriously the cultural diversity of its community and its congregation, I’ve been a witness to the heart of the gospel: gift-exchange and reconciliation in Christ. Martyn points us not only to what is possible but what is a necessary journey for the church in and for a multicultural world.'
'For many years, Martyn has embodied a commitment to the church as a visible sign of the rich diversity of the kingdom of God. In opening up a conversation about the gifts of diverse cultures that the Church of England has too often refused, Martyn, Lusa, Saju, Florence and Jessie have opened us up to receiving the very gift of God-in-Christ.'
'Martyn Snow’s nuanced perspective and practical insights make this book invaluable for anyone seeking to foster more inclusive and harmonious intercultural worshipping communities in a changing and multicultural world.'
'Refreshingly rooted in a combination of personal experience, theological rigour, and a humble willingness to challenge how we think; this book is a brilliant contribution to the Church of England Vision and Strategy as we discern what it will mean to be a church which is younger and more diverse.'
Martyn Snow is the Bishop of Leicester. Lusa Nsenga Ngoy is the Bishop of Willesden. Saju Muthalaly is the Bishop of Loughborough. Jessie Tang is Intercultural Ministry Director in the Diocese of Leicester. Florence Gildea is Social Policy Advisor to the Bishop of Leicester.
