Many scholars and church leaders believe that music and worship style are        essential in stimulating diversity in congregations. Gerardo Marti draws on        interviews with more than 170 congregational leaders and parishioners, as well as        his experiences participating in worship services in a wide variety of Protestant,        multiracial Southern Californian churches, to present this insightful study of the        role of music in creating congregational diversity.Worship across the Racial Divide        offers a surprising conclusion: that there is no single style of worship or music        that determines the likelihood of achieving a multiracial church. Far more important        are the complex of practices of the worshipping community in the production and        absorption of music. Multiracial churches successfully diversify by stimulating        unobtrusive means of interracial and interethnic relations; in fact, preparation for        music apart from worship gatherings proves to be just as important as its        performance during services. Marti shows that aside from and even in spite of the        varying beliefs of attendees and church leaders, diversity happens because music and        worship create practical spaces where cross-racial bonds are formed.This        groundbreaking book sheds light on how race affects worship in multiracial churches.          It will allow a new understanding of the dynamics of such churches, and provide        crucial aid to church leaders for avoiding the pitfalls that inadvertently widen the        racial divide.
