That the General Assembly Committee on Ecumenical Relations recommends to the 218^th General Assembly (2008) to:

1. Receive the report of the Moravian/Reformed bilateral dialogue

A multicultural congregation or ministry is one that intentionally recognizes, celebrates and incorporates the gifts of a diverse membership:

• In worship (utilizing languages, art and diverse theological expressions).
• In leadership and ministry (power sharing in session, church committees and decision-making processes).
• In evangelism (providing the good news in a cup that people recognize with great appreciation and sensitivity to their cultural and traditional backgrounds).

This directory contains a list of the ministries that are actively engaged in multicultural diversity.

This is the first of a series of reflections on the intersection of spirituality and leadership.
