The recent Christianity Today cover story, All Churches Should Be Multiracial, has generated fairly little buzz in the blogosphere: just 12 links at Technorati, 8 at Blogpulse at the time of this post. Found longer discussions over at 5loaves.net’s diversity community.

    As long as we think multiculturalism is merely multiracialism, it will not go very far beyond numbers, quotas and statistics. We must take it one step further, I believe.

    Thanks for putting some feet on that snake. That is, making it palpable, tangible, something we can better understand. I think, too often, the idea of multiculturalism stays just that - an idea. We really lack the practical know how as to how to make it a reality. I think your contributions and the work of others are helping us realize that it can be a reality. We just need to be intentional and deliberate about it.

    "A little redundant, but that?s what leadership is ? changing culture." I'm not sure that's the essense of spiritual leadership....changing culture that is. Awareness of culture is critical, and the engaging of culture is even more important than that. To limit leadership to changing culture is a narrow view, in my opinion.

    Now, if a church has it's head in the sand and is not doing an effective job of being Christ to those in the city/area it serves, then there is a problem....and a change in internal church culture should become reality. This is really done, however, by concentrating first and foremost on the transformation/discipleship process, with an emphasis on the diversity of those in the kingdom and community. A true, comprehensive understanding of this spiritual journey SHOULD lead one to an understanding and desire to reach out to those around them, the more diverse the better.
