Darian Blue Interview on Race in the Church, Part 1

Yesterday, I began my second interview with Pastor Darian Blue of Nicholtown Baptist Church. In the last interview, we focused on his experience and knowledge about social work, because of his work in the role of executive director of the Phillis Wheatley Center. Yesterday, we focused on the life of the church, specifically the separation between people of different races into different churches.

We only had time to get to a few of the questions, so we are going to continue at another time. Dr. Ronald Barton should be joining us, and at some point there will be other pastors joining the discussion as well. Dr. Barton was a part of the Civil Rights Movement, and both he and Pastor Blue feel that this is an important conversation we are having. The response to the last interview encouraged us, and we hope the interview on race in the church will meet a need in our churches and our communities.
