Increasing Frequency of Blacks Joining Southern Churches
Black church leaders join whites in southern religion more often, creating integrated ministries and joint area conferences. At South Park in a changing neighborhood, white members fell from 1,500 to 380 after a black family joined, yet the church now claims unity. Black pastors head main white congregations in some areas, and mixed memberships grow in Baptist and Methodist groups nationwide.
