That's what we're trying to do with the New Baptist Covenant: We need to let the black and white churches reach out to one another, first in a tentative way - maybe exchange pastors or exchange choirs. In Plains we've initiated a Christmas pageant where all the choirs in the area come together, black and white churches. So that's a wonderful experience we've had now for a few years that came out of the context of the New Baptist Covenant. We want people to reach across the racial divide.
