Explore the compelling argument for cross-cultural worship in Christianity, debunking myths about homogeneous congregations. A journey from segregation to appreciation of diversity. The Fallacy of Affinity is an enlightening exploration into the heart of Christian worship, challenging the widely accepted theory that homogeneous congregations grow more effectively. Emphasizing the importance of diversity within the church, this remarkable book argues that a truly deep spiritual growth requires a multi-ethnic and cross-cultural congregation. Originally published in 2010, and re-released in 2021 with additional content, this third edition delves deeper into the biblical and empirical evidence supporting the necessity of diversity within Christian congregations. Rather than growing deeper, the author argues that homogeneous congregations may only grow faster, thereby missing out on the richness and depth of a diverse fellowship. The author, drawing from his own life experiences, recounts his transformative journey from an upbringing in a segregated community to a profound appreciation of diversity within the Christian context. This personal narrative adds a deeply emotional and relatable aspect to the book, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and perceptions. The Fallacy of Affinity boldly claims that ministries lacking a clear objective for cross-cultural worship are working against God's plan for His church. A mix of facts and real-life stories, it serves as a rallying cry for a more inclusive Christian fellowship, urging readers to embrace diversity within the body of Christ. Whether you're a Christian leader, a believer seeking deeper understanding of your faith, or simply an individual interested in the principles of Christianity, The Fallacy of Affinity offers a thought-provoking and enlightening perspective on the importance of diversity within Christian worship. It is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper, more inclusive understanding of Christian fellowship.
