Having worked in the most inclusive and multicultural denomination in Australia for over a decade, I was reminded of some of the significant questions I’d ask those from other cultures, when it comes to their faith and church life, while hearing the testimony of someone last week.
Being an Anglo male in leadership, my experience of church was often quite different to others from other cultures.
In order to both understand them, their history and their faith more, I’d ask the following...
Do you engage with God in your native language? If so, when?
If you own and can read the bible in your native language, do you find it different compared to English?
Do you engage with worship or sermons differently depending what language they are delivered in?
How is your church different because of your culture?
How do you engage with church leadership?
What do you value in the faith of your parents?
