Many Colored Kingdom : Multicultural Dynamics for Spiritual Formation

How do ethnic and cultural diversity affect spiritual formation? The authors of A Many Colored Kingdom explore Christian formation and teaching in the church, with a particular focus on intercultural and interethnic relationships. Well-qualified to speak on issues of diversity, the authors describe relevant aspects of their own journeys; key issues germane to race, culture, and ethnicity; and teaching implications that bring right practice to bear on church ministry. This book will be required reading for those engaged in as well as those preparing for a life of teaching and ministry in our increasingly multicultural world.
