This is the story of two churches: St. Barnabas, the historically all-black Episcopal Church still standing on Fair Oaks Drive in Northwest Pasadena, and the mainly-white All Saints Church, located less than two miles south of St. Barnabas, South of the 210 freeway and within easy walking distance to some of Pasadena’s most affluent neighborhoods.  How has St. Barnabas grown out of the racial and economic complexities of Pasadena’s past to forge a sense of community and belonging within its global congregation?
