Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1960. This quote remains true and begs the question \"How do we heal the church divide?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMario Melendez presents an engaging introduction to the experiences of multi-ethnic believers and a path by which church leaders increase engagement and service to these diverse communities. Finding a model in Saint Timothy, Melendez reveals that multi-ethnic believers have always played a crucial role in Christian fellowship. Having experienced the mixing of their parents' heritage during their upbringing, third cultures kids are invaluable cultural and religious ambassadors. Embracing the unique gifts of third culture congregants and leaders, churches can embody the kaleidescope of their communities and bring about healing amongst the people of God.\u003cp\u003eChurch clergy and lay leaders, as well as members of multi-ethnic households and those looking to increase the engagement of diverse groups within their congregation will find Third Culture Faithful an inspiring call to action. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Melendez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538147262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538147269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Mario Melendez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982923137279,"sku":"9781538147269","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3f404049-8364-4250-9de9-3e329e0d94fa.jpg?v=1683263709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/third-culture-faithful-mario-melendez-9781538147269","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
