From Sojourners:  For over 150 years, Christians have largely attended racially homogeneous congregations, and the question of how to change this has not been an easy one.  However, the National Congregations Study, conducted by Mark Chaves, has shown that churches have become more diverse in the past decade, with large Protestant churches leading the way. 

Christians around the U.S. recently held a, "Day of Witness and Action on Immigration Reform", with a clear biblically based program. Prominent white evangelical leaders lamented "not showing up" to social strugles in the past such as the civil rights movement but pledge to not be absent this time.
