One Body, One Spirit: Principles of Successful Multiracial Churches

“Dr. Yancey has provided a helpful volume for the church as it takes on the globalization of our communities. He provides much assistance in the ‘how to’ of the ministry of the church. One of the important areas that is extremely helpful is worship. Yancey’s investigation has brought together numerous principles and illustrations on how best to develop the ministry of a multiethnic church. In the flow of things, it seems that he is deeply concerned that the multiethnic church not be an end in itself but a means to race reconciliation.”–Dr. Manuel Ortiz, Professor of Mission and Urban Ministry, Westminster Theological Seminary, author of One New People
