Did you know out of 350,000 parishes less then 5% are multiracial?
As President Obama said nearly a year ago, the most segregated hour in America is on Sunday morning. Seabury alum Phoebe McPherson is developing a documentary based on her thesis entitled: Racial Reconciliation and Church Membership Development: A Model for Leadership Education to Support the Development of a Multiracial Congregation. You can see a brief promo for The High Road: A Journey Across America's Colorline by going to the website which I've linked for you. Find out more, including ways to help make this important topic more visible--what would happen if all of us were to make changing this reality one of our goals?

I am proud to say that St. Thomas, Palm Coast Florida, where I serve as Rector, is about 50% white, 40% black (African American and Caribbean American) and 10% other racial/ethnic groups, with myself being the only Native American!
