There’s church, and then there’s the Black church– the institution many of us were taught to revere from the moment we could even utter the word God.
Most Christians are as protective of the church as they are their mothers, i.e. you can talk about anybody or anything but the place where they go to worship and commune with God and other believers. And that’s why it was such a gamble for Oprah to take on the subject of the Black church with last year’s scripted series “Greenleaf.”
The first season of the show was a hit among viewers, and as OWN prepares to air season 2 Wednesday, March 15 at 10 pm EST, Oprah sat down to talk about what the Black church means to her, to many Christians, and how she approached the subject of the sacred institution with care on “Greenleaf.” Check out her insight in the video below.
