Lauren Brown, who leads the South Jersey Be the Bridge group, said that her faith motivated her to become involved in reconciliation. That starts with being honest about the racial divides in the country, she said.

Racial reconciliation has become a controversial topic in evangelical churches, like the ones that Morrison has belonged to. Some black Christians have decided to leave white churches and focus on being part of predominantly black congregations. Others have criticized seminaries and Christian conferences for their lack of diversity.
Morrison says she feels called to remain in a mostly white congregation.
“I think that’s my story, and that’s the space that I’ve been in the last 10 years. And that’s the space that needs this work,” she said.
