Several years ago I visited a remarkable church in San Jose, California, called St. Philip's composed of five distinct ethnic and cultural congregations within the larger parish, it is considered among the most multi-cultural churches of any denomination in the nation. Hispanic, Laotian, African American, European American, and Filipino. . . .
The church sanctuary has seating on four sides to represent the four corners of the world; the Jerusalem cross above the altar draws all people, along with their cultures, traditions, languages, and artifacts, into one human family gathered around the Holy God of the Universe.
