New Culture for Churches?
[From our ministry friends at RenewPartners.org -- helping Christians of different ethnicities to share life and ministry together since 2001...]Many things can (and will) be said about last night's historic election. Regardless if you felt it was an exciting victory or a crushing loss, there is one thing we should all be able to agree on: our country has entered a multi-ethnic era. The election of our first African American president (who's biracial background embodies multi-ethnicity) is a powerful sign of how rapidly our society has changed and will change in the decades to come.
The question on my mind..."Is the church ready?"
Do we know how Jesus and the early Christians interacted in their multi-ethnic society and dealt with interracial conflict? Do we know how to build and sustain multi-ethnic churches and ministries? Are we prepared to reach and disciple our diverse, rapidly-growing youth population that has become increasingly cynical toward Christianity?
