Why are there not more multicultural churches?

[Minister Danny Carson]

Some churches call it "multicultural" to rent space to a church of another culture, or to have more than one cultural or language group as part of one church, but with separate meeting times or rooms. Under some circumstances, these can be valid approaches. However, our approach to multiculturalism should be to have all groups involved in one church, interacting with each other as Christian brothers and sisters in all activities.

Dr. Martin Luther King observed that the most segregated gatherings in America at a Sunday worship services. This is still true. While many mono-cultural churches are necessary, valuable, and pleasing to God, King's comment is, nevertheless, to some extent a general indictment against the Christian community as a whole - since Christ, the Bible, and good theology, if properly heeded, would move many churches toward becoming more multicultural.
