Abstract

The idea of a neighborhood church is becoming a charming relic. Nowadays, worshippers drive all around until they find a church where they feel the most comfortable. But this has lead to homogeneous churches where anyone different feels out of place. Should church be like home, or a place where we stretch to build new friendships? Should we be dissatisfied with a congregation that is only made of one ethnic group? Guest host June Hamersma discusses these questions with John Matias, pastor of City Hope CRC/RCA, and Reggie Smith, pastor of Roosevelt Park Community CRC.
