Is Multiculturalism Merely Mutiracialism?
14th April 2005
When I wrote this post a few weeks ago, it was as a result of an article on Christianity Today that I saw highlighted by DJ Chuang. The article’s title tells the story: “All Churches Should Be Multiracial.”
DJ has a bit more to say about this:
…it’s just plain hard work. With church life being hard enough work as it is, with overworked staff and volunteers, plenty of other issues to consume time and energy and resources, there seems to be a learned helplessness that prevents more churches from aspiring to this ideal. The magazine’s editors and almost anyone you talk to can say that it’s the right thing to do, and it’d be great to see happen. But nothing happens by accident. (well, a few things do, but most accomplishments don’t… Becoming a multiracial church takes intentionality. Intentionality is not forcing something on people, it’s not meeting quotas.
