Leaders from one predominantly Hispanic, one African American, and one largely white congregation have been collaborating through an effort called “Truth Café.”

It's an initiative to break down boundaries like racism, bias, and demographic differences, centered around their mutual commitment to the gospel.

“Our church is composed of more than 12 countries, all central America, south America, Caribbean’s,” said Rev. Moises Flores De Valgaz, Alianza Church. “And now we join the Americans and we join the Afro-Americans and together we are going to celebrate diversity, but unity in God.”

One of the pastors said their shared love of god helps the members develop a sense of unity that strengthens the community.

“A lot of people still don’t know when they come together there’s a blessing,” said Rev. Mary Dow, Brooks Temple. “No matter what size, what color or what culture and God is still working through all of this. And when we come together like this what a joyous way to show God’s love.”

The churches are planning to gather again at Thanksgiving.
