Overcoming Challenges to Racial and Ethnic Diversity
Gerardo Marti
Calvin Symposium on Worship 2008

This workshop is for pioneers working through the challenge of creating ethnically and racially diverse churches. By looking at successfully diverse churches across the nation, we reveal critical attitudes for cultivating a hospitable church, perspectives on recent immigration and the neighborhood church, and experiments on musical variety and global awareness. This workshop will stimulate many ideas through discussion of gestures that signal openness, strategies for contextualizing musical practices that incorporate rather than alienate while avoiding ethnic and racial stereotypes, and issues of change and transition.
