A great story here of how an atheist became a Christian. I love Alasdair MacIntyre's After Virtue too.

Multi-ethnic churches if they are not careful, skew toward white preferences
It is sobering to think that even when we try to have multi-ethnic churches, often times subtly the "white" approach ends up being the one that we go with.
Even multiracial congregations tend to have white cultural values. Can we continue to cultivate truer diversity in the body of Christ?Jemar Tisby"Whiteness is a ubiquitous force [so] interracial churches tend to cater to the predilections of whites" Korie Edwards, Elusive Dream, 2008.

Separation between poor neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods is occurring
Many of us are putting a lot of stress on communicating Jesus' way in a way that is contextualized to that local culture like a missionary. However, it is sobering to see that so many of our locales are becoming homogeneous. They have either expensive housing with good schools or more affordable housing with schools with poor test scores. So, we need to both minister locally but also be aware that we may need to partner with a church in a poor area.
