Multiculturalism began as an official policy in English-speaking countries, starting in Canada in 1971. It has profoundly affected our nation and the way churches design and affect ministry to their communities. A review of The Pulse over the past decade reveals an awareness of the challenge of our multicultural world and nation. More recently in the 2007 Spring issue the National Ministries page established the case for calling Canada a mission field by reminding us of the diversity within our Canadian borders. In the Summer 2007 issue of The Pulse we are developing the theme of multicultural ministries. Three Korean congregations have begun in the BC lower mainland. More could begin in Toronto. We have 17 Chinese churches in Canada. A new Mandarin church began last year in Toronto. Many people from our churches are working in First Nation and Aboriginal ministries. We need to be aware and we need to champion the Gospel among the vast population landscape of our country.
