Relationship is the key factor.
Being an intercultural church means that we have meaningful relationships with one another. It means that we allow each other to bring our whole selves into the community and so bring change to the way the church functions and worships.
And yes, that can feel uncomfortable sometimes. But as we take careful steps in leading our church into a new repertoire we will discover that the Holy Spirit is using it powerfully.
A quote from the intercultural worship training video of Jessie Tang, leader of Songs2Serve UK:
“Worship should be fundamentally disruptive: because we turn the focus away from ourselves and back to God. We lay down the kingdom of self for the Kingdom of God. Worship transforms us, it fuels us to love God and love our neighbors.”
