As the diversity of our culture continues to increase, Christ's Church has not been keeping pace in many parts of the world. If I can be so bold to speak on behalf of God, I truly believe He wants this to change. The most diverse place in the world will be heaven. It's time for a little heaven on earth. (from the foreword)

Scott Williams is an incredible and insightful leader who understands both the local church and the issue of diversity. He has embraced the intent of the gospel: God redeeming people from every nation through the blood of Christ. I've definitely learned from Scott and this book. You will too.

Whatever racial woes we face in America, they cannot be dealt with by politicians or Washington D.C., but rather by the local church. Scott's book can help our nation navigate through this critical and much needed conversation on race.

Diversity of people gives birth to the diversity of thought and bright new ideas emerge. For the sake of the gospel, our churches need these bright new ideas. Scott Williams is a superb communicator who unpacks diversity with courage, passion, and vulnerability.

Filmmaking is all about experiencing a journey through the eyes of another. Yet, when it comes to integration this essential gift remains largely misunderstood. Scott Williams is ever seeking to see this gift opened and embraced. His book, like his life and ministry, is an invitation to the most rewarding of all human journeys.

Leading a diverse congregation takes courage, intentionality and consistency. Scott takes us to the practical side of Theology and teaches HOW to become a church rich with diversity. This is one book every church leader needs to read so that our congregations on earth will start looking more like heaven!

The mandate of Jesus spoken in his last words (Acts 1:8) was about multi-ethnicity. The first day of the church was strategic when Jerusalem was crowded with multi-ethnicity (Acts 2:5-11). The first church-wide controversy and conflict was about church diversity and multi-ethnicity (Acts 15). Now, in the 21st century, Scott Williams is bringing us back to a biblical understanding of multi-ethnicity. In his challenging book Church Diversity - Sunday The Most Segregated Day Of The Week Scott will lead you on a journey resulting in personal and church-wide awareness and growth.

Diversity doesn't happen by accident. For every cultural rainbow both corporately and congregationally you will find a leader who was intentional about diversity. This book will be confirmation for some, a push in the back for others, but it is necessary for all.

Diversity is an urgent matter in today's global marketplace and in the economic conditions we face. Embracing diversity in the workplace and appealing to diverse customer groups is essential for survival and growth. Pastor Scott Williams challenges us to move beyond the workplace and create the same urgency in our house of worship, with a fundamental question – Does the sign on your church's front door read, "Everyone Welcome?"

There is no greater challenge within the church today than navigating the difficult waters of cultural differences within the congregation and within the community. However, there is no more important task than taking the Gospel to every member of our community regardless of the cultural differences that may exist. Thus, the church must confront this issue with tenacity to ensure we are truly reaching our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and uttermost parts of the earth. Scott Williams brings us great truths, and great insight, on how church leaders can move beyond the errors of the past into a new era of Christ followers standing side by side, hand in hand, worshiping the King...regardless of ethnicity. This is God's plan and God's desire. Thank you Scott for helping us get there!

An increasingly diverse society will not find credible the message of God's love for all people as proclaimed from segregated churches. In Church Diversity: Sunday, the Most Segregated Day of the Week, Scott Williams provides a powerful, compelling, voice for a growing generation of church planters and pastors no longer interested in filling their pews with a homogeneous crowd but rather with the wonderful diversity of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, all for the sake of the gospel.

Scott Williams delivers 100 percent straight talk in his new book, Church Diversity: Sunday the Most Segregated Day of the Week. Pastor Williams calls out the elephant in the pew. With candor and passion he hits the bull's-eye with how ineffective the Church, at large, has been at closing the segregation gap. After providing historical context he unearths true stories of those that get diversity, do it, and how you can too. Christ prayed that we would all be one — this book brings us closer to being the answer to that prayer. A must-read for those who are determined to live centered in God's heart for His bride.

What a remarkable and timely read on the extraordinary power of difference. Our generation needs a challenge far beyond the politically correct conversations on diversity. . . . And Scott delivers a tough, intentional yet hopeful one.
