Building Lasting Bridges: An Updated Handbook for Intercultural Ministry

Kathryn Choy-Wong, Lucia Ann McSpadden, and Dale M. Weatherspoon provides insights from three US-based faith leaders from diverse cultural and denominational backgrounds for understanding and bridging cultural divides. Revised for our time, this book offers a brief theology supporting diversity, followed by reflections from the authors on their personal journeys toward embracing diversity within their faith context. Notably, the authors provide a practical pathway for building bridges, which will support everyone from beginning to advanced builders of bridges. The book features brief, easily accessible chapters with compelling questions for either personal or group reflection that will be perfect for intentional community-building group study or personal growth. A light, easy sense of humor is interspersed throughout the book, bringing some levity to an often-heavy topic. Supplemental materials for reflection and conversation are available online. Whether you are seeking to begin the conversation in your community or looking for inspiration to continue the journey toward the beloved community, this book is for you!
