If the church and its agencies do not learn to see themselves critically, they will create nothing new and they will not have the joy of a new experience. Perhaps this is an uncomfortable question, but it must be asked. Some of these extremes inhibit healthy values and contributions to the life of the church. A certain diversity is essential to maintain the equilibrium in the dynamic of all social groups. Women can not participate because they are women.
People of color receive a special treatment because they are different.
Evangelism and mission. In many cases it has been taken for granted that if a church has a mission committee, it is a church in mission. If someone initiates a work among the groups of color, the church is already doing evangelism. The improper use of the task of evangelism, directed to minorities or different people, can be a bad symptom of something that is not functioning well. This is especially true when the task to do mission among the dominant culture is neglected, and when the churches shut themselves away in their own buildings to nurture their own interests and see nothing beyond the parking lot.
