Ted that is a Great perspective. Perhaps another dimension isn't about bending strategy towards a pastoral or apostolic audience but rather towards the focus people of the ministry. There are more affluent, generation 1.5, or 2.0, etc., that yield more towards a pull approach. Whereas, the first generation tends towards a more indigenous form. A multicultural church is a homogenous unit, not based on ethnicity, but perhaps vocation, stage of life, and a shared sense of hybrid identity. Then by definition, there will be people that don't fit that model either. As soon as a multicultural church chooses a language or languages to worship, they exclude people. I wholeheartedly agree with the premise that we need all three. - B. Houston
