| Summary: | This study suggests that clergy and laity who engage in political discourse within houses of worship are able to bridge social capital in a manner that yields recognition of common interests among groups of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds.

Alternatively, politically conscious religious leaders contribute to Hispanics believing that whites and minorities can be comfortable with one another and in the possibility of interracial/ethnic political alliances. |
