The incident drew national attention and prompted Chuck Mingo, who is Black, to develop a racial reconciliation program at Crossroads, a megachurch where he is one of several pastors on staff. Crossroads, with roughly 38,000 members, is one of America\u2019s largest and fastest growing churches.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative, called Undivided, promotes diversity using education, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/addiction-and-recovery\/bible-study-fellowship-the-cure-for-her\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bible study<\/a>, small groups and social activism. The congregation was galvanized by the program and Crossroads now helps other churches nationwide do similar work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod\u2019s heart is for a church that looks <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/the-big-question-where-is-heaven\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">like heaven<\/a>,\u201d Mingo says. \u201cThis is a part of the gospel. In Ephesians, Paul says Jesus came to break down the dividing wall of hostility and make one new humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At Crossroads, participants in the Undivided program were divided into racially-mixed small groups. Members studied biblical messages of inclusivity, learned about racial injustice in U.S. history, shared a meal and engaged in honest\u2014 and sometimes difficult\u2014conversations about personal experiences of racism.<\/p>\n<p>The groups were then prompted to use what they had learned to benefit the city of Cincinnati. Participants in the program campaigned for a citywide ballot initiative that raised property taxes to fund education. Backers of the ballot initiative credited Crossroads\u2019 support with motivating voters in a city that typically favors low taxes and small government.<\/p>\n<p>Similar <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/managing-life-changes\/10-inspirational-quotes-about-embracing-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">change has come<\/a> to other churches adopting the Undivided program. A few years ago, a Lutheran congregation in a mostly white suburb of Cincinnati formed Undivided groups with a historically Black church near downtown. The churches forged close ties and participants in the program went on to take joint mission trips. Members continue to meet and, in Mingo\u2019s words, \u201cdo life together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a beautiful promise on the other side of owning where we have fallen short,\u201d Mingo says. The church is \u201can army of reconcilers. We\u2019re an army of love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This interview is part of our What Our Faith Calls Us To series.
