SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - In Harlem, an African-American bishop leads his congregation in prayer. In Miami, neighbors enter a bright yellow chapel and greet each other in Haitian. In Salt Lake City, a teacher instructs her Bible class in Chinese. Meanwhile, in Florida, an entire congregation sings in American Sign Language in poetic gestures, and in California a young child gives his first talk in Sunday School in Spanish.

Stereotypes Breaks Diversity Church

I think the title is a bit misleading, yes we have a global Church where people of other cultures, backgrounds and languages get together to worship, YET this fact does not stop people from stereotyping the Church as a "white man's Church". Here in the Caribbean for instance, where most people are Afro descendants, the myth still exist even though the local white population is very small. I suppose it all depends where you are located.
