Rediscipling the White Church: From Cheap Diversity to True Solidarity - Paperback

by David W. Swanson (Author), Brenda Salter McNeil (Foreword by)

Before white churches can pursue diversity, we must first address the faulty discipleship that has led to our segregation in the first place. Pastor David Swanson proposes that we rethink our churches' habits, or liturgies, and imagine together holistic, communal discipleship practices that can reform us as members of Christ's diverse body.
