Open Document

Christianity has a long history with multiethnic assemblies—even in the nineteenth century, they existed in the USA. The earliest generations of Christ-followers exhibited multiracial gatherings, prominently noted in Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-11), Antioch (Acts 11:19-25; 13:1-3), and Ephesus (Acts 19:1-17). Even the Old Testament speaks of praise that is either cross-cultural or multi-cultural (see Psalm 96; 98:1-2; 108:1-5); the New Testament refers to Jewish and Gentile expressions of praise in Romans (chapter 15), and Revelation a dresses a great assembly in heaven from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation worshiping God together (Revelation 7:9-10). Such Word pictures declare the multiracial potential of Christian worship.
