Summary

This volume is a collection of articles by members of the faculty at Princeton Theological Seminary exploring the multicultural challenges facing the contemporary church. Contributors seek ways to make worship more relevant to, and inclusive of, groups that have often been excluded, either overtly or unconsciously--youth, ethnic minorities, and other marginalized people.
