The community surrounding your church has changed. A homogeneous congregation is now in a heterogeneous community. What should the church do? Should the church transition to become a congregation reflecting the diversity of the community surrounding that church or should the church endeavor to remain homogeneous? Contained in this book is the very heart of how to transition one's church into a multiracial congregation. Over four decades after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "11 AM is the most segregated hour in America," many churches are still refusing to embrace the diversity of the community in which they now find themselves. The time is near when all the people of God will gather around the throne to worship the Lamb. The aim of this book is to promote the multiracial congregation to worship together in unity on earth projecting the heavenly image of all nations worshipping together.
