Building a Healthy Multi-Ethnic Church

Many churches across the UK have been strengthened and helped by brothers and sisters from overseas moving to this country and joining congregations.

But we are from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and sometimes that can make fellowship awkward and not as deep and fruitful as it ought to be. What can be done? How can we build healthy multi-ethnic churches?

Given the horrific racially motivated riots across Britain over the summer a healthy and happy church made up of people from many nations can be a huge beacon of hope for the country and a powerful witness for Christ.
