Description
More than a dozen Black churches have left Boston, or shuttered completely over the last ten years, according to reporting from the Boston Globe. Issues including gentrification, the cost of real estate and declining membership are among the factors contributing to the migration of these churches from Boston proper to nearby municipalities including Brockton, Abington and Randolph.
Today, Boston Globe Reporter Tiana Woodard joins The Common for a look at the factors driving some Black churches out of the city, and how these moves are impacting faith communities.
