For Christians seeking unity in diverse communities

Addresses challenges of multicultural church growth

You will discover how diversity enriches your faith

Polyphonic God explores the role of multicultural churches in Britain.

The UK can be described as a postmodern, secular, multicultural multi-ethnic society and within this context has emerged multicultural churches over the years. But what are the key debates at the heart of multicultural Britain and how do they influence the development of multicultural churches? If the political climate and narrative is that multiculturalism has failed, or needs managing and that migration needs to be controlled because it has not led to a unified British society with British identity and values, have multicultural churches by default failed or do we need to journey towards something radically different?

In this book, theologians and practitioners together contend that intercultural churches are significant in multicultural British society, and serve to create a counter cultural kingdom narrative demonstrating how we can find unity in the midst of diversity and how this can enrich the lives of everybody involved.
