Episode 1 – Dr. Michael O. Emerson: Multi-ethnic Churches, Organizational Change, and the Future Urban
Has multi-ethnic church planting helped bring greater diversity in our churches?
Listen to this week’s podcast as we interview Dr. Michael O. Emerson, sociologist, provost of North Park University, and author of Divided by Faith. We discuss multi-ethnic churches, social trends, and how to lead an organization towards greater diversity.
- Divided by Faith was a wake-up call for Evangelicals. It’s contributed towards a multi-ethnic church movement in America. What prompted you to write it?
- How can the social sciences help us become better “missiologists” and “missionaries” in North America?
- What are some social trends you’re seeing now that will inevitably shape future churches and new churches?
- In what ways do you think Christian leaders should begin preparing their institutions now? How should church planting leaders lead their organizations and church planters?
- Are there any changes in the ECC that encourage you?
- What’s the academic vision at North Park?
