I conclude in my paper that what’s needed now is that churches deepen this reconciliation potential. Religious organisations have the potential to draw people out of their private, racially segregated lives, into a safe social space where human interactions can be more intimate so as to get to know each other.

It is also not a superficial coming together which is reduced to demographics. Space and opportunity are created to hearto help shatters racial stereotypes and beliefs that have acted as a dividing wall.
