Abstract:
Interracial conflict and cultural divisions have been a serious challenge in the church
globally. Through the years there has been vast available literature about the phenomenon
as it happens and this study will specifically explore it in the Methodist church at the
Moreleta circuit in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, South Africa. This
article seeks to explore factors affecting developing an inclusive missional church. It aims
to contribute to research in this area and suggests developing an inclusive missional
church. It is presented as a qualitative study conducted in the churches of the circuit based
on semi-structured interviews with some church leaders and pastors in the circuit. The
study reveals some factors of interracial conflict and cultural divisions that contributed to
the article. It shows that there are various factors affecting developing an inclusive
missional in the above-mentioned circuit. This results in a generally unsatisfactory level of
relationships.
CONTRIBUTION: This article aims to contribute to research in the practice of developing an
inclusive missional church in the Methodist church at Moreleta circuit. It hopes to also
contribute to the Methodist church of Southern Africa as a whole.
