What if the leaders of nine major black denominations came together to work on one accord for the betterment of their collective churches and the African American community?
What if their 50,000 congregations ramped up advocacy efforts in their communities in the areas of economic empowerment, social justice and public policy, education and health?
What if this combined, coordinated faith endeavor really made a difference in the lives of their more than 30 million members, as well as others?
Could success come from such a faith collaboration when similar efforts have stagnated or failed? It remains to be seen, but the leadership of the Conference of National Black Churches, which concluded its first annual consultation in Washington Friday, believes it can.
