Rev. Dr Amutha Devaraj also contributed in a new book that aims to equip Baptist ministers to preach in an intercultural congregation in Intercultural Preaching consists of a series of essays in which scholars and practitioners, ministers, and lay people, all of whom are preachers, share their insights on the joys and challenges of preaching in diverse contexts. It also includes sample sermons preached in multicultural contexts. 

The book’s contents are drawn from a series of Multicultural Preaching Listening Days organised by Baptists Together between 2017 and 2019. Hosted by Spurgeon’s College, Regent’s Park College and Northern Baptist College, with the support of the College of Preachers, the listening events discerned the support Baptist preachers need in order to enable them to preach in culturally diverse congregations. The chapters in the book are a development of the themes explored during these events.

The blog below shares selected excerpts from her reflections and writings originally published in the monthly magazine News and Views of Ashurst Drive Baptist Church.
