We are all embodied stories - layered ones. Our faith is about stories - not about theologies. Small, medium or large; rural, urban or suburban - all congregations of the United Reformed Church have stories of welcome, hospitality and radical discipleship to tell/share.
This initiative is an opportunity for us to share some of the stories of our life together and the intentional ways we strive to deepen our intercultural habits.
The Multicultural Congregation Story Award, which started in 2009, coincides with the biennial multicultural celebrations (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015 etc). Below is full list of all the stories submitted.
