Building Multi-Racial Churches New Edition
The credibility of the Church of England's rightful commitment to being a multi-racial church will stand or fall by how far and how effectively it consists of multi-racial parishes. This booklet is an attempt to map out the sort of convictions and policies that are needed to enable the Church of England to become multi-racial.
A broad outline of our goal is to become 'multi-racial in membership, leadership and ethos',and this booklet identifies symptoms of racism and methods to overcome it. There then follows practical and biblical discussion of how to go forward: how to shape the ministers, recognise gifts, spread the gospel, develop leadership, and be together.
This new edition of John Root's booklet has a new introduction and some suggestions for further reading.
