As people from different cultures and backgrounds become Christians and join our churches, or move locations and join, it can be a challenge. There are different expectations of what church should be like, or how Christians should behave, or even language we should use.
But there is much to benefit from and learn from those from other cultures if we can learn to embrace one another's differences. For the sake of the church and the gospel.
In this podcast, Adrian Reynolds (Associate National Director) is joined by Eben Adu (Christ Theological College) and Efrem Buckle (London City Mission) to share experiences and expertise in this area to help our churches embrace this changing diversity.
