Celebrating Faith & Faithfulness in all its diversity - Your Contribution

The United Reformed Church has professed to being a Multicultural Church. A key implication of this declaration is that we desire to be a church committed to empowering all towards just, inclusive, renewing and transforming mission and ministry.

The United Reformed Church Multicultural Celebration 2009 is about gathering together to be inspired by each other’s stories and cultures. We all have stories and we are all cultural beings. Here is an invitation to discover and celebrate our diverse spirituality and ethos, to share each other’s experiences (and cultures), to deepen cross-cultural understanding, to network and to develop bonds of friendship.

This is an opportunity for ALL United Reformed Church congregations to come and share ideas and celebrate the rich cultural diversity that exists in the church and society.

Churches have been invited to prepare a short item or performance that expresses their culture and faith, that all can enjoy. It can be drama, dance, song, poetry or . . . . (Closing date for offers was 16th July 2009.)
