Any local church would be stronger and better with real diversity, (and not just racial, but political, economic, educational, etc.)</p><p>We have an opportunity in our new house church to be pro-active in this regard. If three or four non-white families (read as one or more persons living under the same roof) missionally joined an ethnically white church of 500+, that doesn't do much to the racial mix; but if those same three of four families joined with us, we'd be a multiracial church (almost from day one.) And hopefully everything that grows from this would remain reflective of this origin.</p><p>But how do you make it happen without sounding like you just want to use someone because of their differently colored skin? How would this come across: Contact a few churches in our area with non-white congregations, and speak with the pastor/elder/similar about partnering with us by sending a family or two to join us in mission. My language is a little rough, but I think the idea is clear. I'd welcome comments and critisicm.</p>Bald ManWed, 04 May 2005 10:58:02 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2005/becoming-a-multiracial-church-part-3/#comment-2184805<p>preach it!</p>Glen MoriartyFri, 29 Apr 2005 00:52:05 -0000http://www.djchuang.com/2005/becoming-a-multiracial-church-part-3/#comment-2184804<p>Strong stuff.
