Voice 6: "It is a church I love because they celebrate being African. They light the Kwanazaa candles every Sunday. They end each prayer with 'Ashe, Alleluia, Amen.' They wear African clothes. They talk, pray and sing about Africa. I loved it. I felt so at home. I felt so complete. This is a church where African people can celebrate their faith with the context of their social and historical lives."

声音6：“这是我喜爱的教会，因为他们会为自已是非洲人而庆祝。他们每个周日都会点燃夸纳扎蜡烛。他们以‘阿什，哈利路亚，阿门’结束每一次祈祷。他们穿着非洲服装。他们谈论、祈祷和歌唱非洲。我很喜欢这个教会。我觉得很自在。也感觉很完整。在这个教会，非洲人民可以结合他们的社会和历史生活来庆祝他们的信仰。”
