Time takes a look at megachurch Willow Creek's emphasis on racial diversity. The spark was when the founding pastor read a book by Rice's Michael Emerson.

I've been impressed that Emerson has managed to be so influential in the intersection of his research: race relations and the sociology of religion. Both were classes I took at Rice, and he was definitely one of the best professors. So good, in fact, that I took the classes even though I knew that he requires attendance and punishes tardiness.*

* Only bad profs require attendance. Emerson is the exception.
