What Others Are Saying ...

Increasingly, the Mosaic Church of Arkansas is being discussed in published literature. Most recently, the Enrichment Journal (published by the Assemblies of God, Summer 2007) devoted an entire issue to Embracing Diversity and prominently featured the church in an article entitled Multiracial Church Plants Difficult, But Necessary. In addition, the same issue featured an article entitled Mosaix Global Network: Shaping the Multi-ethnic Church Movement. Other magazines such as Christianity Today and Outreach Magazine have also published articles featuring the church. And check out an article by the Reformed Churches of America featuring the church posted in October 2007.

In addition, Ed Gilbreath's book entitled Reconciliation Blues (InterVarsity Press, 2006) mentions the church in the prologue on page 14.

ReligionLink, a web-based resource to help print and broadcast journalists when they encounter religion in stories recently focused on the growing phenomenon of multi-ethnic churches in an article entitled, Multicultural churches multiply - intentionally. You can read specifically about Mosaic in that article by clicking the state of Arkansas on that link.

You can also read about Mark's hand in starting Skate Church in Portland, OR, (1987) in the book, The Relevant Church: A New Vision for Communities of Faith by Mike Howerton (Relevant Media Group, 2004) on page 13 of Chapter 4. Skate Church in Portland is the granddaddy of all skate ministries and as such, birthed the movement.

Bo Boshers of Willow Creek cited Mark on page 73 of his book, Student Ministry for the 21st Century (Zondervan, 1997) and Mark's curriculum for junior and senior high school students on the roles of men and women was featured in Wayne Grudem's Council on Biblical Manhood/Womanhood Journal in an article entitled, Teaching Biblical Manhood and Womanhood to Teens (June, 1996).
