Building Intercultural Church Ep.3: A messy journey - intercultural church in practice

The Serve Asia Podcast

What does intercultural church look like Sunday by Sunday? How do ideas about community, unity in the gospel and preferring the needs of others play out in church life? What does worship, Bible teaching and communion look like in an intercultural church?

In this episode co-hosts Reuben and Nathaniel explore all these questions and more in discussion with our guests. There's no one size fits all model, but in these conversations the journey toward intercultural church becomes clearer. We also examine some of the tricky tensions in pursuing intercultural church.
