In Leveling the Praying Field, Ansel Augustine offers a personal and historical perspective on issues of race and inequality in the church. In particular, he considers the challenges posed by the rise of Millennials and Gen Z, whose members increasingly consider racial equality to be one of the most important issues today. For the church, which has normally been slow to respond to racism, to be a prophetic voice among these and future generations, it must change from doing "ministry as usual” from a Eurocentric perspective. Augustine points toward a way forward, to “level the praying field so that all have an equal opportunity in society, and we can truly be ‘one body of Christ.’”
