Leading a Multicultural Church
This book, by Baptist minister Malcolm Patten, explores the challenges and opportunities that the changing ethnic diversity of the western world has brought in the last 60 years. It aims to explore this within the context of both Scripture and society, and considers competencies and skills that may help leaders of churches and other Christian organisations unlock the potential that this diversity offers.

Wonderful Youth
Even though there are a vast number of resources on the Christian market to enable young people to reflect on their Christian faith, few (if any) intentionally enable Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic people to see their image reflected in the resources. This resource aims to address that imbalance. Drawing on culturally diverse images, exercises and activities, Wonderful Youth is unapologetically multicultural.
The material seeks to affirm, both theologically and culturally, all young people between the ages of 13-16. Click here for details and to download the material produced in 2018 and 2019. |
