The Revd Dr Malcolm Patten is Senior Pastor of Blackhorse Road Baptist Church in Walthamstow, east London and is an Online Tutor at Spurgeon’s College, London. His article ‘Multicultural Dimensions of the Bible’ has been published in the Evangelical Quarterly journal.
A timely contribution to understanding how a pluralistic society is impacting the church . . . an extremely valuable resource for any pastor.
A must have for all ministers in urban and multicultural Britain. It is also a book that every student of the ministry in our day and age must read at least once before they take their first pastorate. It is worth every recommendation it gets.
Not only [is it] an important tool in equipping leaders, but also a source of inspiration that will reinvigorate them with the wonder of this complex and yet exciting ministry.
‘written with passion and a wealth of personal experience’.
About
Over the last 60 years the ethnic diversity of the western world has changed dramatically as a result of successive waves of immigration. The impact of this on the church is evident in the growing number of congregations that are now multicultural to a greater or lesser extent. This presents challenges as well as opportunities to those leading these congregations. This book aims to explore this within the context of both Scripture and society. It will also consider competencies and skills that may help leaders of churches and other Christian organisations unlock the potential that this diversity offers.
Malcolm Patten has been a Baptist Minister for over twenty years and this book combines his congregational sociological research and his years of experience as a Pastor in multicultural churches. He will also be interviewing others who are involved in working with multicultural churches across the denominations (Anglican, Methodist, URC) as well as drawing in expertise from BME networks, the Evangelical Alliance, Churches Together and Independent churches with multicultural congregations such as Kensington Temple, Westminster Chapel and Emmanuel Church, Westminster.
