One Bread, One Body: Exploring Cultural Diversity in Worship

As an advocate for global music and a promoter of cross-cultural worship for more than 15 years in a variety of settings, Michael Hawn has observed many faithful people who find that a taste of Pentecost in worship is refreshing and invigorating. In this book, the author seeks to help bridge the gap between the human tendency to prefer ethnic and cultural homogeneity in worship and the church's mandate to offer a more diverse and inclusive experience.

The four case studies included illustrate both the pain and the possibilities encountered when seeking to include multiple cultures in worship. Hawn also offers a concise and practical theological framework as well as numerous strategies and an extensive bibliography for implementing "culturally conscious worship."
