There's one denomination in particular, though, that has pushed very hard to be multiracial in its denomination - not only its denomination but, I mean, in its congregations, and it's called the Evangelical Covenant Church, http://www.covchurch.org/ which is headquartered in Chicago.

But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.

There is an urge to preserve the names of the people who produced you.
Henry Louis Gates
