Sunday at 11 a.m. remains America's most segregated hourābut healing won't happen in the pews alone.
In this timely and hopeful book, pastor Nathan Walton calls readers to embrace a multiethnic lifestyle between Sundays. He argues that it's not enough to have a diverse-looking church if we live separate lives the rest of the week. When advocacy for justice doesn't lead to relationship, and when diversity is performative rather than embodied, true multiethnicity remains elusive.
Embodying God's Multiethnic Kingdom offers practical steps toward unity without uniformity and diversity without division through an accessible framework for living out reconciliation in your daily rhythms, moving beyond performance to authentic, life-giving community. You'll learn how a multiethnic lifestyle, though challenging, is both possible and necessary for Christians.
This book walks through Walton's Four R's of Multiethnic Living:
- Residence: Where we live impacts our capacity to become rooted in diverse communities.
- Recreation: The way we live our social lives affects our ability to pursue multiethnicity.
- Resources: We can use our resources in ways that promote racial justice.
- Religion: Pursuing a united, multiethnic church is affected by the way we interact with Christians across demographic differences.
Embodying God's Multiethnic Kingdom is for pastors, church leaders, and everyday Christians who desire to see a more unified church but feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to start. Whether you serve from the pulpit or the pew, this bookequips you to live out reconciliation in everyday life and reflect the beauty of God's kingdom across every line that divides us.
