Worship Across Cultures: A Handbook

A work that will inspire cross-cultural sensitivity this practical guide provides a road map to the basic worship practices of the major ethnic and cultural groups in North American Protestantism. In Worship Across Cultures Kathy Black reports information about actual Christian worship practices gathered in collaboration with persons who come from and minister with churches in twenty-one different cultural contexts in the US. This book is a uniquely valuable resource whether for pastors who regularly lead Christian worship in cultural contexts beyond their own or for persons visiting worship in another context to attend a marriage or a funeral. By approaching the study of worship through description of actual practices it will inspire cross-cultural sensitivity as well as providing food for thought and new ideas for worship. I heartily recommend it for laity pastors and seminary classes.--Ruth Duck Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary
