Here are a list of books that you may find helpful, thought-provoking and paradigm-shifting! These relate to rethinking how we do 'church', becoming more intentionally intercultural in our theology and in our worship, unravelling deep-rooted and widespread issues of racism and poverty in our society and in the church, and growing in our gifts and calling towards hospitality and social justice as God's people and as an intercultural worshipping community. Please do let us know what you think; it's not by any stretch an exhaustive list, and we'd love to have a chat with you about any of these or other recommendations you may have along these themes!
