25 ways to affirm diversity
Three years ago, my predominantly White congregation, if not dying, definitely was starting to lose consciousness. Children—once our hope for continued survival—grew up, went to college and settled elsewhere.
However, things began to turn around as church staff and leaders recognized the changing community—predominantly Hispanic and working poor—and decided to be intentional about embracing change. While we’re not a standing-room-only congregation yet, we’re thriving. Here are some ideas that might help your church as well.
