When the first edition was written, more than a decade ago, there\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewas a limited pool of resources available to help practitioners in the field, even less addressing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Canadian context. Dan Sheffield brought a missiologist’s perspective to this discussion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat had been shaped by lived experience in North America’s multi-ethnic reality and churchplanting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexperience in post-apartheid, urban South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the past decade, however, a proliferation of resources on multi-ethnic, intercultural,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emulti-racial, multicultural churches have entered the marketplace. Again, almost all written\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethrough the lens of the American experience, and often, focused on the mechanics of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emulticultural community, rather than the challenges specific to the leadership task.
