In the globalized twenty-first century, there is greater need than ever for intercultural approaches to advancing the gospel in multicultural urban contexts. In this book, Dr. Johnson Ambrose Afrane-Twum explores the history of African immigrant churches in the UK. Examining the implications of black theology in the context of Britain's multicultural landscape, he offers suggestions for how black-led churches can partner with white-majority churches for greater impact in urban ministry and evangelism. Such a partnership, he suggests, would enable both communities to challenge aspects of their respective cultures and theological approaches, recentring both on biblical truth. It would also provide a model of Christian mission built on mutual respect and love, transforming urban communities through an accessible and unifying gospel.

Reviews for Christian Mission in a Diverse British Urban Context: Crossing the Racial Barrier to Reach Communities

Research on how the church, both locally and institutionally, can engage across cultural and ethnic boundaries in all directions is vital to changing this profoundly unchristian reality. Rev. Dr. Afrane-Twum has done us a great service by presenting his research in this important book which will add real substance to our knowledge and wisdom about how best to be an intercultural church engaging in God's mission in Britain. Nigel Rooms, PhD Leader, Partnership for Missional Church UK, Church Mission Society In this work, Rev. Dr. Afrane-Twum offers insight into how the African immigrant churches need to develop a model of mission theology that transforms life and the necessity for them to collaborate with white majority churches. In exploring the latter, Rev. Dr. Afrane-Twum develops a form of intercultural ecumenism that could advance the course of the gospel in the UK. I would recommend this textbook to theological faculties and students who are interested in understanding African Christianity in the UK.
