“In our twenty-first-century American culture, firsthand communication will carry the most weight. People are no longer interested in an abstract and indistinct picture of Jesus. They desire immediacy. In a culture that no longer trusts authority, people desire firsthand personal experience. They need to hear for themselves his words and see for themselves his actions.”

“When faithful Christianity is defined primarily as, “protecting the truth, insulating our children, and surviving the onslaught of competing thoughts,” the battle is lost.”

“American Christians have often allowed the world to determine their view of power and privilege, rather than Scripture. This has created an Anglo Christianity that is increasingly affluent, suburban, and educated, yet functionally disconnected from non-Anglo populations. A multiethnic church will bring to American Christianity a new awareness of these issues from a biblical perspective so that the new people of God, the church, may truly reflect the diversity and equality inherent in the gospel.”
