<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Leaders who are enriched by others have been opened up to God at the foot of the cross and welcome all whom they meet there. Sheffield says leaders in multi-ethnic congregations must go through a developmental process from ethno-centric to intercultural perspectives in order to serve as enablers of multicultural congregations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>This book is intended as a resource for provoking dialogue on the nature of leadership in<br /> multicultural congregations. When the first edition was written, more than a decade ago, there<br /> was a limited pool of resources available to help practitioners in the field, even less addressing<br /> the Canadian context. Dan Sheffield brought a missiologist's perspective to this discussion<br /> that had been shaped by lived experience in North America's multi-ethnic reality and churchplanting<br /> experience in post-apartheid, urban South Africa.</p> <p>Over the past decade, however, a proliferation of resources on multi-ethnic, intercultural, <br /> multi-racial, multicultural churches have entered the marketplace. Again, almost all written<br /> through the lens of the American experience, and often, focused on the mechanics of<br /> multicultural community, rather than the challenges specific to the leadership task. With<br /> another 15 years under his belt, of working with leaders in multi-ethnic congregations across<br /> Canada, USA, Mumbai, Manila, Accra, Bangkok and Budapest, Sheffield brings further<br /> reflection on the development of intercultural leadership skills.</p> <p>This second edition of The Multicultural Leader deals with the role of congregational<br /> leadership in embedding the multicultural vision as a way of "seeing." The author draws<br /> from various disciplines to develop a profi le of leaders necessary to initiate and sustain the<br /> multicultural congregation. Sheffield's conclusion is that leaders in multi-ethnic congregations<br /> must move through a developmental process from an ethnocentric, monocultural perspective<br /> to a multi-ethnic, intercultural approach in order to serve as enablers of multicultural<br /> congregations.</p>
