The Canadian landscape continues to change as we welcome people from every corner of the world. The church in Canada has historically been at the forefront of assisting new Canadians to settle in this country. But is that enough? This book's contributors believe it is time for the local church to move beyond acts of hospitality to engage with immigrants and welcome them into vibrant congregational communities. This will mean working to understand the issues and challenges that new Canadians face in the process of re-establishing their lives and building new relationships. The contributors use a missional approach that draws on interdisciplinary research and analysis. Beyond Hospitality seeks to help local congregations to become models of service and unity for our multicultural nation.
