April 2019
With the help of New Baptist Covenant, a nonprofit that seeks to create vibrant, inclusive Baptist communities, Kingdom Mission Society and Grace and Race Ministries, Inc., have entered into a covenant of action to help build bridges of racial understanding between people of faith in their community.
With that intent, Rev. Dr. Maurice Watson, pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, recently hosted a dinner and dialogue with the theme “Race Matters.”
There was great intentionality in the outreach for participants in the dialogue, according to Dr. Watson. The group reflected race, gender, intergenerational and religious diversity, and was led by Dr. Sherrill McMillan, a licensed professional counselor and ordained minister. In her discussion titled “Racial Anxiety as A Mental Health Concern,” she defined racial anxiety as the emotional discomfort we feel about the potential outcome of interracial experiences.
