Soon-Chan Rah & Graham Joseph Hill discuss the next evangelicalism, releasing the church to cultural diversity, & freeing the church from western cultural captivity. On "The GlobalChurch Project". Shortened version of interview. Full 35-minute version available at https://theglobalchurchproject.com

Soong-Chan Rah served as the founding pastor of a multi-ethnic, urban ministry-focused church, committed to living out the values of racial reconciliation and social justice in the urban context. Today, Soong-Chan Rah teaches and writes about church planting, church growth, leadership, and evangelism.

Soong-Chan Rah shows how evangelicalism has long been held captive by its predominantly white cultural identity and history. He calls the North American church to escape its captivity to Western cultural trappings and to embrace a diverse and multiethnic future. Spiritual renewal is happening within the North American church, from corners and margins not always noticed by those in the centre.

Graham Joseph Hill is the Founder and Director of The GlobalChurch Project (the website https://theglobalchurchproject.com).

The GlobalChurch Project films Christian leaders and churches from Africa and Asia and Latin America. We also film in the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, First Nations, Indigenous communities, the Middle East, and Oceania, and in diaspora and immigrant communities. Today, these non-Western cultures are the Majority World. The GlobalChurch Project presents resources to support these films. Small group resources. Curriculum for college classes. Books. Training videos. A blog. Coaching. Consultancy. College and short courses.
