Deep dives
The Segregation of Sunday Worship
Sunday morning remains one of the most segregated times in America, particularly in Christian communities. This segregation stems from historical injustices, where Black congregations were formed because white churches denied them the opportunity to worship with dignity. Such a history highlights the importance of affirming the identity and worth of Black Christians, recognizing that everyone is made in the image of God. Embracing diversity in worship settings is essential for creating a true community that values all expressions of faith.
