     In Becoming A Multiethnic Church, Dr. Rogers offers insightful information and helpful suggestions to church leaders struggling to respond appropriately and effectively to America's growing ethnic diversity. From ethnocentric Anglo assumptions to the role of worldview in shaping ethnic perspectives, from the cultural aspects of spirituality, to strategies and models for meeting the spiritual needs of an ethnically diverse society, to the unique challenges church leaders face in leading healthy, growing multiethnic churches, Rogers explains the challenges and offers workable solutions that can help churches, large or small, respond effectively to the spiritual needs of America's ethnically diverse population.

God is drawing people of every tribe and language and people and nation to the United States. And yet, as our society becomes increasingly more diverse, many of our churches still remain ethnically segregated, oblivious to what is happening around us. In his thoughtful and well-written book, Becoming A Multiethnic Church, Glenn Rogers challenges us to embrace God’s mission as we seek to reach immigrants in culturally sensitive, appropriate, and relevant ways.

     From the first chapter on debunking our Anglo American ethnocentric assumptions to the final section on issues faced by leaders of multiethnic churches, Rogers delivers insights that can make the difference between a church divided by misunderstandings or a congregation that is enriched by cultural and ethnic differences. A fascinating and instructive book! A must read for anyone contemplating a multiethnic church.
