Alway...To comment on your comment unsarcastically:<br /><br />Always and right away.<br /><br />The thought of a church remaining mono-ethnic is really hard to square with Paul's ministry strategy. (And I realize that this is a controversial claim)<br /><br />But there's a gray area for niche ministries like IV because temporality is built into our strategy and ministry rhythm. We know we're sending them out into something different.<br /><br />If students graduate from our ethnic-specific ministries without a greater capacity to engage in a multi-ethnic church, something's gone wrong. (The same goes for students involved in our multi-ethnic chapters)<br /><br />The "right away" element of Paul's segmentation strategy probably tells us more about his priorities and belief in the witness of a multi-ethnic community than his timeline.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660964184560606566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240341.post-81214180322815627772011-01-26T00:03:00.719-05:002011-01-26T00:03:00.719-05:00It makes you wonder why so many of our churches ar...It makes you wonder why so many of our churches aren't integrated, doesn't it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660964184560606566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240341.post-41563343667580966442011-01-25T23:42:57.545-05:002011-01-25T23:42:57.545-05:00But he always integrated the churches right away d...But he always integrated the churches right away didn't he?
