Multiculturalism

Boris Johnson and a multicultural church

August 10, 2011

This is a fabulous picture of Boris Johnson in Enfield earlier. One of our church members met him, and gave him the Jubilee Church card that he is holding in his hand. If he (or anyone else for that matter!) wants to see what a big crowd of 40 nationalities gathering together in harmony looks [...]

June 21, 2011

This is the second part of a set of notes on Terry Virgo’s first session at 300 Leaders.  I have previously shared the video and downloads for the whole talk. 3. There was Barnabus. He had been sent.

15 principles to live by as a Christian in an increasingly hostile world

March 10, 2011

Last Friday, I posted about a recent court case that really centered on the perceived conflict between modern society’s requirements and the beliefs of two private individuals. Today, I want to move away from the specifics of that case and outline some general principles that should help us as people of faith to consider similar [...]

A new Warnie award for Bob Roberts

February 6, 2011

I am sometimes just a little embarrassed these days about the so-called “Warnie Awards.” They are something of a reminder of the good old days of Christian blogging, when almost all of us knew each other, especially the ones that were not political bloggers. Sometimes back then the online blogging community felt more connected. There [...]

Multiculturalism – Can we build churches that display God’s multicolored glory?

January 21, 2011

The above video comes from the recent 300 leaders Conference. It is on a subject close to my heart: diversity. Many argue that churches will only grow if they focus on attracting one demographic of person. We at Jubilee have given our lives to trying, by God’s grace, to prove that statement wrong. It hasn’t [...]

New John Piper sermon: The Gospel and racial harmony

June 28, 2010

This past Sunday it was a joy to have John Piper with us at Jubilee Church in London. He seemed to be very much at home with us, and was clearly enjoying preaching one of the very few sermons he will preach this year. We benefitted greatly from this talk as Jubilee continues to aim [...]

Video – Tope Koleoso On Alcohol And Other Dilemmas

March 24, 2009

Following on just a couple of weeks from his sermon on sex, Tope preached on another controversial matter. This is a subject where many Christians take very different views from each other.   I think that whether you agree with Tope or not you will, find the sermon of great  interest. If nothing else it [...]

Now It Is Time To Pray for President Obama

November 5, 2008

Much of the world is rejoicing today. Even with the profound differences Christians have with Obama over abortion, surely we can still rejoice that in a nation where slavery and segregation are not too distant memories, a non-Caucasian will be in the White House. We can and we should be glad that this change may [...]

Does Multiculturalism Mean I Have To Eat Blood?

September 16, 2008

In the first of my series on multiculturalism, I spoke about eating whatever is set before us. Today I want to talk about one thing that, so far in my life, I have never managed to bring myself to eat. It is a good example perhaps of how some cultural values are so deeply entrenched [...]

Multiculturalism – You Are What You Eat?

September 10, 2008

I thought I would do a short series of posts looking at some of the practical implications of thinking in a multicultural way within the context of a Christian worldview. There is probably nothing more firmly embedded in our cultural identities than what we choose to eat. If you are English of a certain age, [...]

MP3 On Multicultural Churches and Other Sermons by Tope Koleoso

April 3, 2008

I have just been listening to a message by my pastor, Tope Koleoso, who was recorded at a recent conference on building a multicultural church. I have become so used to what God has been doing these past couple of years at Jubilee that I sometimes need to remind myself that genuinely racially integrated churches [...]
