Solving the Immigrant Church Crisis: The Biblical Solution of Parallel Ministry

Description: Solving the Immigrant Church Crisis by Angela Lowe, Ronald M. Rothenberg Ph D. Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Solving the Immigrant Church Crisis: The Biblical Solution of Parallel Ministry (Acts 6:1-7) addresses the crisis of the immigrant church in which complex cultural and linguistic factors create a reticence on the part of immigrants to transfer financial and decision-making authority to succeeding generations, and this results in a culturally irrelevant ministry to those generations, an exodus of believers from the church, a spiritually immature remnant, and an inability to reach the lost. The thesis of this book is that parallel ministry, based on Acts 6:1-7, is the biblical solution to the crisis in the immigrant church. While there are at least two main aspects of this crisis, a spiritual-relational and an ecclesiastical aspect, this book focuses on the ecclesiastical aspect of defining the biblical structure of church government. Specifically, this book is for immigrant churches primarily in the United States and offers them a biblical and practical solution to the problem plaguing them for over two centuries of how to minister effectively to the succeeding generations. Author Biography Ronald M. Rothenberg pastored in Asian immigrant churches for about a decade (1994-2005). Since being saved in a second-generation Chinese church, he has had some involvement with Asian immigrant and Asian American churches and parachurch ministries such as Asian American Christian Fellowship for over twenty years (1987-2017). Rothenberg is married to a 1.5 generation Chinese American for over sixteen years. He has delivered and discussed the content of this book in both formal and informal presentations to pastors and laypeople of primarily Asian, but also Haitian, Hispanic, Indian, and Romanian backgrounds over the past two decades (1994-2017), including an Annual National Meeting of Chinese Churches in the UK (1998), the Annual Pastors Meeting of the Evangelical Formosan Church (2004), the National Meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society (2014), and the Chicago Chinese Christian Conference (2016). Rothenberg received his B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Irvine (1991), his M.Div. from Bethel San Diego (1994), and his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology and Ethics from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (2014).
