New and differing waves of immigration to the United States today have changed the composition of church communities. This cultural shift presents a challenge to both leadership and membership. There is a need for understanding the underlying tensions that come from cultures differing from European and/or North American roots. Church communities struggle for ways to integrate and become environments of welcome and hospitality.
