Intercultural Church Conversation 2022

The Intercultural Church Conversation (ICC) is a series of online events to promote the significance and application of an intercultural approach to church in the UK – in a season when there is division and polarisation in both church and society.

For this session our focus is on intercultural worship and leadership.

There are three aims for the event:

1. Conviction – An intercultural approach to church is biblical and theological

2. Confidence – How to ​“do” intercultural church (descriptive, not prescriptive) and best practices

3. Connection – Developing relationships, talking in huddle groups, and sharing where to go for further resources

Since before the death of George Floyd, a key question church leaders from a range of backgrounds wrestle with is, how can their churches and ministries reflect the multi-ethnic, multicultural characteristics that make modern Britain? From an African pastor’s perspective the question is, how can our church engage white indigenous British people? From a white British pastor’s perspective, how can our church or organisation engage black majority churches or diaspora people? From a Chinese or Brazilian pastor’s perspective, how can our churches or organisation go beyond reaching solely Chinese or Brazilian people? Added to these are questions around losing second-generation Africans, Asians and Latin Americans, as some leave the church totally while others migrate to a church that reflects the multi-ethnic make up of Britain.

This conversation aims to help leaders, leadership teams and other Christians interested in exploring these issues to journey together.
Our speakers are: Jessie Tang, leader of Songs2Serve UK, and Anderson Moyo, Senior Leader of Sheffield Community Church
