520 |a Racial tension is a major source of conflict in the United States. This conflict can partially explain why religious organizations are overwhelmingly monoracial. This paper provides the first empirical examination of the potential of multiracial churches, relative to monoracial churches, to experience intracongregational conflict. Because of the racial tension in the United States, basic conflict theory implies that multiracial churches are more likely to experience intracongregational conflict than monoracial churches. Multinomial analysis is performed with data from the Lilly Survey of Attitudes and Friendships to assess the propensity of conflict in multiracial and monoracial churches. With one exception, there is no significant link between racial diversity and conflict in religious congregations. Since there is little evidence that having racial diversity leads to more intracongregational conflict, individuals in multiracial churches should not fear that racial diversity is likely to lead to racial discord.
