Multicultural Ministry: Finding Your Church's Unique Rhythm

by David A. Anderson and David A. Anderson

Book Overview

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...

Customer Reviews

Great Resource

I really enjoyed this book. I help lead a multicultural church and it was a helpful reminder of many things. It was also helpful in evaluating the things we are doing. I would recommend it for anyone involved in multicultural ministry or for a ministry that is seeking to be multicultural.

No Better Work

Pastor David Anderson has "been there, done that." As a seasoned pastor of a multi-cultural church in a multi-cultural area, Pastor Anderson writes both with biblical insight and personal experience. A well-written, practical, and hopeful book, "Multicultural Ministry" is a must read for everyone interested in racial harmony and mutual ministry. Reviewer: Bob Kellemen, Ph.D., is the author of Beyond the Suffering: Embracing the Legacy of African American Soul Care and Spiritual Direction , Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care And Spiritual Direction, and Soul Physicians.

Excellent Church Resource

This is a wonderful book to read about the multiculturalism concept in churches. It doesn't just talk about the reasons for advocating church diversity, it talks about why it doesn't happen in churches and the history behind it. The author gives excellent tools at the end of the book to help churches begin to explore racism and cultural diversity in their own facilities. Thumbs up! Dr. Anderson for the insight God has given you.

Good book to read

Dr. Anderson's book is worth reviewing. If you enjoy reading this book then I encourage you to also read Racism@Work Among the LORD's People by Robert Upton.

BEST RESOURCE FOR MULTICULTURAL MINISTRY

If you want to begin a multicultural ministry, there is no better resource than this book. Unlike other books that deal with principles and theories about diversity, David Anderson lives it out both in his personal life and in his ministry. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book as a great tool to begin the process of breaking down the walls of seperation and segregation. Hopefully, a book like this would make "Eleven o'clock Sunday Morning" the most integrated hour.
