God and Race, The Saint Louis Art Museum, and Green Burial
A Conversation with the Authors of "God and Race"
Churches have been some of the most racially divided spaces throughout American history, but it doesn't have to be this way. Meet Christian Pastors John Siebeling and Wayne Francis, who have written a book about how their churches foster racially mixed congregations.
