God's Mosaic

The doors of the church are open to everyone, and we celebrate differences. Yet it appears to be difficult to bring people from different cultures together. Traditional Dutch and Flemish churches are mainly white and in many migrant churches people come from the same country of origin. In this book, Hans Euser argues for more color in the church. He challenges us to actively work on a mosaic in which the diversity within the Body of Christ becomes visible. The book is a combination of Biblical teaching, theoretical reflection and practical wisdom. It offers seven keys to building more intercultural faith communities. Indispensable for anyone who wants to be a church with people from all different backgrounds. This book inspires transformation – in our thinking, our actions and our life together as a church. — Miranda Klaver, professor of Anthropology of Religion More color in the church is easy to read, practical and challenging at the same time. — Jan Wolsheimer, director of CAMA Mission A book that clearly connects theology and practice, full of recognizable examples. — Rien van der Toorn, non-western sociologist and intercultural trainer Hans Euser is theologian, speaker and trainer. Together with his wife Carolien he runs BLEND Bloemhof, a missionary coffee shop and neighborhood church in South Rotterdam. He heads ICP Netherlands, an intercultural church planting organization.
