Fall 2026 - Intercultural Church
The theme for this worship series is inspired by a growing movement within Mennonite Church Eastern Canada to foster the church's Intercultural identity. Taking inspiration from recent publications on the topic of the Intercultural church such as Safwat Marzouk’s book Intercultural Church: A Biblical Vision for an Age of Migration and Hyung Jin (Pablo) Kim Sun's book Building Mennonite Belonging, we will aim to catch a vision of the church as a diverse yet unified worshipping community that chooses neither “assimilation” nor “segregation” when navigating difference and boundaries in the life of the community. In Marzouk's book, he notes:
“When the church becomes an intercultural covenantal community, moving beyond being a monocultural or multicultural church, it proclaims a message of hope in a polarized and divided world.” (16)
This worship series will examine biblical texts that promise to help us understand the community of faith as an intercultural reality. Beyond just examining the intercultural church as a movement that seeks to relate to migrant cultures within the North American church, this worship series will also ask us to discern and examine the diverse cultures that make up our congregation as it is. It will ultimately ask us to consider how God’s vision for the church is a diverse people brought together to follow Jesus and work for his kingdom.
