Mosaic of Believers

Description:

""Mosaic" in Southern California is one of the largest multiethnic congregations in America, and also one of the most innovative. In A Mosaic of Believers, Gerardo Marti takes us inside this unusual church. He shows how the church has achieved multiethnicity, not by targeting ethnic groups, but by providing multiple havens of inclusion and commonality that render ethnic differences moot." "Based on interviews and participation with the congregation and grounded in contemporary sociological theory, this book presents a rich portrait of an emerging religious community."--BOOK JACKET.
