Who Shall Separate Us? : Uniting the Segregated Church

Multicultural growth in churches has increased significantly over the past few decades. Changing neighborhood demographics, styles of worship, leadership values, and denominational brands are all factors in church congregations becoming more diverse. As a result, many spiritual and sociological dynamics associated with such growth can significantly affect the overall health of any local church.

Who Shall Separate Us? explores the divisions within the church that reflect the separation of races and cultures in the United States as a whole. Author Dr. Angelo O. Dart identifies the underlying dynamics of these divisions as racism, bias, discrimination, and prejudice-elements that could certainly act on the development of the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors between cultures in society. As the church, the Body of Christ has served humankind in both spiritual and social venues. If one of the purposes of the church is to provide the spiritual utility by which values and morals are created, it becomes vitally important for it to exude the kind of spiritual health worthy of emulation by the rest of society.
