Black Church, White Convention

A Pastor's Story of Hope

About this book

In 2010, Liberty Hill Baptist Church, a historic black church in Cleveland, decided to join the Southern Baptist Convention after eight years of deliberation. Bringing a predominantly black church into a predominantly white convention came with many obstacles and questions that would lead both cultures on a path toward racial reconciliation.

In Black Church, White Convention, pastor Mark Louis Johnson shares his church's journey to put racial reconciliation into action within the Southern Baptist Convention. He explores eight questions that his church needed to answer on their journey, including what to do with the challenging history of the SBC and the personal painful experiences of church members. Johnson highlights the reality of difficult histories while offering hope and a vision for a reconciled church.
