He
made the interesting observation that while many churches called themselves
multicultural, what they were actually was multi-ethnic. While emphasising that
Jesus Christ has come for the whole world, he also emphasised the importance of
allowing South Asians to continue their own culture when they began to worship
Jesus. He challenged us as to what our attitudes were. He also suggested that
South Asians were often more willing to talk about Jesus than white British.
After
the service Kevin manned a stall and spoke to members of
the congregation about his own work (see here) and about their experiences, as
well as offering literature.
Hopefully,
his suggestions will make us wiser and more sensitive as we seek to share our
faith.
