Book 10 of 2022 --Intercultural Visions: Called to Be the Church

 


Over a decade ago the United Church of Canada pledged to grow into a truly intercultural church (though I suspect many people in the church have no idea about that pledge much less have taken time to work out what it means in how we are the church).

This book offers a series of reflections on what it might mean to be an intercultural church. To structure the book each writer was given a line from the New Creed paragraph "We are called to be the church".

Each of these essays offers food for thought. I was routinely challenged as I read through them. I suspect there may be some things the authors would say differently now, 10 years later, but many of the points raise are still very relevant.

AS the United Church continues to claim a desire to be both intercultural and anti-racist (and really you can't have the former without the latter) more people need to read these essays.
