“We're 50/50 black and white in our church and look like dominoes on a Sunday" said Matthew Guest, leader of King's Church, Chatham.

He was speaking at a leaders' conference for Multiply - a network, started by the Jesus Army, for Christian churches of many different types.

"Church shouldn't be selective, but reflective of the society around" added Matthew.

And his words were backed up by the multi-coloured mix of races at the conference. Delegates from across the UK had a wide-variety of racial and national backgrounds: from African to Bangladeshi - to white British!
