Cultural Diversism is a term that was first used by Joseph Andrew Nelson. After trips to Kenya and Madrid, Joe Nelson returned to America with new beliefs of the importance of cultural diversity. Nelson states; "We would be a better nation if we accept others' cultures and live with them in one society,". Joe Nelson is currently investing in a small church in Virginia where he will share his beliefs and ideas.
Beliefs:
Nelson believes everyones purpose in life is to converse and blend with other cultures; to get to know your 'brothers and sisters' of the world. There are only three 'pillars' in this religion:
1: It is only pure and divine to respect others aspects of diversity and varying amounts of cultures.
2: One must never stereotype any other race or culture.
3: Diversity has been the founding tradition of every culture and if not taken seriously then it is offensive to all those who seek cultural diversion.

On May 21, 2000, Scott Fisher, was asked to become the Senior Pastor of Metroplex Chapel. Scott and his family had been members of Metroplex Chapel since 1992 and he had previously served on the church board and search committee.
