«In September 1996, I began a photographic exploration of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church-an inner city, African American congregation located in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had become interested in African American spiritual life when I was a teacher in an alternative high school for urban high-risk youth. It seemed to me that if my students' families were struggling effectively against the hardships of inner city living, they were also deeply connected to the life of a church. I felt compelled to photograph and learn more about this vital aspect of black culture.»
