Black Atlanta church attracting Hispanics
Tagged: Atlanta, Georgia, populationPosted on: March 9th, 2007“Sprinkled among the black faces at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Hispanic worshipers listen intently to the congregations leader, Bishop Eddie Long.
Its an unusual scene for a predominantly black church, but the areas Hispanic population has grown from just 1 percent in 2000, to nearly 9 percent today. New Birth is acknowledging its new neighbors in a way most historically black churches haven’t.”
