    About this ebook

    Having truly diverse people in a local congregation will involve multi-racial, multi-cultural, and multi-generational interactions. Believers. who should be connected as members of the Body of Christ, may find themselves disconnected from one another because of cultural differences that impact the methods and the message in the local congregation in a negative way. However, God has something better than Gorilla Glue to unify culturally disconnected people. When Christians are united by the common bond they share with one another in Christ, they can carry out the mission of the church in all cultural settings.
