The Great Work Done By The Witness: A Black Christian Collective And A Needed Discussion On The Healthy Church

The other day I posted Notes To The Church At A Time Of Difficulty And Promise and Random Notes
To Believers & People Who Struggle To Believe as steps towards addressing what works and doesn't work between people and churches and between people who struggle to believe in God and others. 

But here is a better approach to these questions by looking at what makes a healthy church. This is a Black perspective on some of the questions that I'm struggling with. It is a stronger perspective than I have, better thought out and more focused. 

I connected with this through The Witness: A Black Christian Collective on Facebook. The explain themselves in these words: "The Witness is a black Christian collective that engages issues of religion, race, justice, and culture from a biblical perspective. We are changing the way Christians engage the church and the world by challenging them to think and act according to the holistic message of Christ. We consciously draw on the expansive black church tradition to address matters of personal faith while also speaking to issues of public righteousness. We believe that the Christian message applies not only to our eternity but also to our present-day circumstances and lived reality."
