Class, culture and barriers to belonging in the Church
Class, culture and barriers to belonging in the Church
£9.99
We’re called to be like Jesus, not like each other – so why are most Western churches predominantly middle class? Could it be that we’re reaching out to people in poverty, but struggling to connect them into church life?
Journey with Natalie Williams and Paul Brown through Invisible Divides as they draw on their own experiences, and mix theory with practical application to explore the invisible divides that prevent churches from becoming places of true inclusion and keep poor and working-class people on the edges of faith. Jesus calls for us all to follow him, no matter our background; together, we can break down the invisible divides between us so that people from all walks of life can come to know Christ and find family in our churches.

This book is essential reading for every church leader. Natalie and Paul share their experience and expertise to make the invisible divides visible to the reader. This book will encourage leaders to see the people within their congregations who feel marginalised as a result of their background. How can we make our services and activities accessible to people from working class backgrounds?
Growing up on a council estate and attending a middle class church I now realise that for the past 40 years I have assimilated to my middle class surroundings. Even now, there are times I feel that I don’t belong simply because my upbringing is so different to that of my Christian friends. The authors articulated exactly how I feel. This book is easy to read, never patronising, and will help you to cross the divides in the UK Church. A definite 5 out of 5.
