Some of us in the Racial Ethnic and Women's Ministries/PW ministry area and in the Evangelism and Church Growth ministry area of the General Assembly Council have been meeting and collaborating together to share best practices on how we can grow Christ's Church Deep and Wide in diversity. We have been specifically focusing on evangelism and church growth in racial ethnic congregations. There is a new evangelism resource, for instance, that will soon be published on Hispanic/Latino-a evangelism and church growth from the office of Hispanic/Latino-a Congregational Support. In seeking to grow the church deep and wide in diversity, some of our questions are: 1) What is required of us in order to grow Christ’s church in diversity? 2) What are our challenges and potential pitfalls? and 3) How can we achieve success in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in reflecting the racial, cultural and ethnic diversity of God’s peoples in the world? We welcome these conversations in our GAC ministry areas and also with those still gathering and entering into conversations following the Deep and Wide Evangelism consultation that was held at Stony Point last year. The conversation (and the work) continues!
