The Colors of Culture

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Having known MelindaJoy Mingo for a number of years, I can hear her voice coming through the pages of her book, The Colors of Culture. Her winsome storytelling helps us enter into the sometimes uncertain terrain of crosscultural friendships. Dr. Mingo has, for decades, lived out her counsel to be patient in forming friendships with those who are different than ourselves. She engages in courageous conversations in order to clear up misperceptions. I particularly appreciate her insights into how local churches can perhaps unthinkingly assign permanent visitor status to those who regularly attend but who come from a culture different from the majority.”
