Ethnic Diversity and Reconciliation

<p>Forces of division conflict and fear threaten to separate us from the neighbor who does not look act or pray like us. However followers of Christ are charged with embodying a unity that celebrates difference rather than fleeing from it.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Ethnic Diversity and Reconciliation</em> explores the implications of the church's radical call to inclusive community in the context of Myanmar's long history of ethnic conflict. Dr. Arend van Dorp outlines the theological foundations for understanding the church's mandate as a diverse and unified missional body while also engaging the very real challenges posed to this mandate by the cultural religious and historical realities faced by Christians in Myanmar. He demonstrates that while the challenges are vast so is the potential for transformation and reconciliation when the church takes up its mantle and bears faithful witness to God's love in a fractured world.</p>
