A big issue in theU.K. has been multi-culturalism. This has been experimented with for decades,but in the last twenty years, because of immigrants increasing in numbers, theconcern has increased. Cultures are remaining separate, and so dividing thenation and causing tensions. Certain laws have been legislated, butGovernmental imposition really has not worked. Immigration has to develop intointegration, that sadly has not happened. The tensions and disparity incultures cannot be legislated away. The only way that politics has is to have astern hold over all sections of society. A method that keeps an uneasy peace,and is not a meaningful answer.

But when we read about a multi-cultural society inthe Bible that gathered at Jerusalem, then we see that a spontaneous means isthe only answer. In Acts 2, we read of a number of nationalities comingtogether under the preaching of the Word of God, and entering into a singleexperience. “Partheons, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers inMesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, andPamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers ofRome, Crete and Arabians heard the Gospel in their tongues concerning thewonderful works of God. And all that believed were together.” The Gospel canunify a society of many cultures.
