Sinopsis

This book is intended as a resource for provoking dialogue on the nature of leadership inmulticultural congregations. When the first edition was written, more than a decade ago, therewas a limited pool of resources available to help practitioners in the field, even less addressingthe Canadian context. Dan Sheffield brought a missiologist&rsquo,s perspective to this discussionthat had been shaped by lived experience in North America&rsquo,s multi-ethnic reality and churchplantingexperience in post-apartheid, urban South Africa.Over the past decade, however, a proliferation of resources on multi-ethnic, intercultural,multi-racial, multicultural churches have entered the marketplace. Again, almost all writtenthrough the lens of the American experience, and often, focused on the mechanics ofmulticultural community, rather than the challenges specific to the leadership task. Withanother 15 years under his belt, of working with leaders in multi-ethnic congregations acrossCanada, USA, Mumbai, Manila, Accra, Bangkok and Budapest, Sheffield brings furtherreflection on the development of intercultural leadership skills.This second edition of The Multicultural Leader deals with the role of congregationalleadership in embedding the multicultural vision as a way of &ldquo,seeing.&rdquo, The author drawsfrom various disciplines to develop a profi le of leaders necessary to initiate and sustain themulticultural congregation. Sheffield&rsquo,s conclusion is that leaders in multi-ethnic congregationsmust move through a developmental process from an ethnocentric, monocultural perspectiveto a multi-ethnic, intercultural approach in order to serve as enablers of multiculturalcongregations.
