Description / Abstract
Historically, the Christian church in the United States has played a role in the segregation of worshipers based on ethnicity. This segregation has become harmful to our neighborhoods, communities, and the nation in a time where racial tensions and diverse populations are each expanding. Congregations located in increasingly diverse populations must decide if they will continue to worship in monocultural contexts or transition to becoming a multicultural church seeking to reach people of all ethnicities in their communities. Furthermore, churches who are transitioning from White majority to multiethnic congregations face unique challenges. Discussions on a variety of specific topics serve to inform leadership in this transition and how to overcome such challenges. These topics include racial reconciliation, hegemony, evangelical worship structures and practices, and ecclesial cultural intelligence. The goal is to identify and implement multicultural worship strategies which will facilitate a truer multicultural worship which is formational, welcoming, unifying, and a lived expression of the gospel message to diverse peoples in our churches and communities. Bethany Church, located in Ellicott City, Maryland is the case study for addressing the transition from White majority to multiethnic worship. Qualitative research in the form of memoir is used to capture and examine the context. The artifact is a YouTube channel titled Memoirs of a White Woman Worship Leader. Using elements of story in the form of memoir, each episode reveals steps in the transition from monocultural worship toward multicultural worship at Bethany Church.
