The Biblical Mandate for the Multi-Ethnic Church

While government and educational programs, together with the efforts of countless individuals, groups and agencies, have long-sought to eliminate prejudice and the disparaging consequences of institutional racism still deeply imbedded within our society, it is time to recognize that systemic change cannot be achieved apart from the establishment of local churches that intentionally and joyfully reflect the passion of Christ for all people of the world.* For it is not the institutions of government nor of education throughout America that have been called by God to the task, but rather it is the local church, the bride of Christ ... we His people (John 17:1-3, 20-23; Acts 11:19-26, 13:1, 16ff.; Galatians 3:26-28; Ephesians 4:1-6; Revelation 5:9-10).

Yet the growing fascination with the potential for multi-ethnic local churches throughout America and beyond must not be focused on racial reconciliation. Rather, multi-ethnic church planters and reformers must be focused fundamentally on reconciling men and women to God through faith in Jesus Christ and, consequently then, on reconciling local congregations with the pattern of the New Testament local church; in and through which men and women of diverse background worshipped God together as one. For as Chris Rice, writing in his book, More Than Equals, has observed ...

Concerning the movement of American Christianity towards racial reconciliation in the 1990's, author Chris Rice - in his book, More Than Equals - wrote the following profound words ...

"Yes, deep reconciliation will produce justice, and new relationships between the races. Yes this will lead Christians to become a bright light in the public square. But I have become convinced that God is not very interested in the church healing the race problem. I believe it is more true that God is using race to heal the church."
