Abstract
  • A large Chinese church in Toronto with multiple congregations speaking different languages used an Appreciative Inquiry to engage leaders to identify commonalities among themselves and to discover their church DNA through interviews, practice of listening, use of storytelling and conversations. The inquiry built on the common ground for unity, offered an experience of cohesion for the leaders, facilitated relationship building and unveiled a story of their church in new light. It showed that Appreciative Inquiry can be an effective means for crossing sub-group boundaries and intercultural barriers. It can be an invaluable and helpful tool for use in churches.
