Forces of division, conflict, and fear threaten to separate us from the neighbor who does not look, act, or pray like us. However, followers of Christ are charged with embodying a unity that celebrates difference rather than fleeing from it.
Ethnic Diversity and Reconciliation explores the implications of the church's radical call to inclusive community in the context of Myanmar's long history of ethnic conflict. Dr. Arend van Dorp outlines the theological foundations for understanding the church's mandate as a diverse and unified missional body, while also engaging the very real challenges posed to this mandate by the cultural, religious, and historical realities faced by Christians in Myanmar. He demonstrates that while the challenges are vast, so is the potential for transformation and reconciliation when the church takes up its mantle and bears faithful witness to God's love in a fractured world.
