This thesis addresses the question of how a large church can best pursue ethnic diversity. Using qualitative research methosd the researcher demonstrated that the best practices found among secular organizations in pursuing diversity are effective when implemented in a large predominately white church. The researcher demonstrates that the four best practices of getting the leadership to be champions for the cause, casting the vision across the organization, motivating the organization's employees by demonstrating the beneficial nature of the vision's success and creating a system-wide plan allows for a large church to successfully pursue the celebration of diversity.
