About the Film
Black + Evangelical is a feature-length documentary that profiles the history, struggles, and contributions of African American evangelicals.
Taking us to the crossroads of faith and racial identity, Black + Evangelical is filled with candid interviews and eye-opening portraits of the resilient men and women who find themselves straddling the often clashing worlds of Black and white evangelicalism in America.
Black + Evangelical challenges us to hear anew the voices of these men and women whose unique theological and social journeys have much to say about challenges faced by today's church.
Free and open to the public
Sponsored by the Center for Applied Christian Ethics (CACE), Christianity Today, and the Office of Intercultural Engagement
