The New Normal: How the Black Church Has Adapted to Online Worship, Outreach | ABJ Clip

When several of Detroit's Black churches shuttered their doors temporarily two years ago, many church leaders likely didn't think the changes they'd make would become permanent. While some local churches have plans to return to their former operations, other churches say they'll never return to the way they operated prior to the pandemic. "American Black Journal" producer AJ Walker meets with Rev. Cindy Rudolph, of Oak Grove AME Church in Detroit, to learn more about how the church reacted and adapted new ways of worship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rudolph talks about having to quickly adapt to remote services, online tithing and increased community outreach, all in the midst of her first few months as the church's new senior pastor.
