ME3-2: Biblical Diversity
in People Movements
Facilitating Local People Movements
What is needed today across North America are many “people movements” that sweep across cultural segments of society. We need to pray and work towards a viral gospel that “infects” non-believers within many cultural groups. However, central to reaching these cultural groups for Christ are several definitional problems. From a Biblical perspective, to what degree should cultural differences be embraced, or to what degree should unity in Christ be emphasized? This workshop will address key issues in facilitating people movements.
