Here's an excerpt describing "The Unified model of a Multicultural Church".
"A Multicultural Church is a congregation/ministry that intentionally recognizes, celebrates
and incorporates a diverse membership in:Worship by using different languages, arts, spiritual practices and theological expressions
- Power Sharing with equal representation on sessions, church boards and executive positions
- Evangelism by providing the Good News in a cup that people recognize with great respect and
appreciation for their racial and cultural backgrounds (The office of Evangelism and Racial/Cultural Diversity)"
