Building Multi-Racial Churches

The credibility of the Church of England's rightful commitment to being a multi-racial church will stand or fall by how far and how effectively it consists of multi-racial parishes. This booklet is an attempt to map out the sort of convictions and policies that are needed to enable the Church of England to become multi-racial.

A broad outline of our goal is to become 'multi-racial in membership, leadership and ethos',and this booklet identifies symptoms of racism and methods to overcome it. There then follows practical and biblical discussion of how to go forward: how to shape the ministers, recognise gifts, spread the gospel, develop leadership, and be together.

John Root's pastoral ministry has been in multi-racial parishes in London. He has also served as Vice-Principal of Ridley Hall Theological College, and from 1995 has been Arch Deacon of Brent in North West London.
