Margaret McFaddin has continuously made a point to tie social justice into her preaching, and her work in Albuquerque is no different.
“(The church) empowers you to be able to love people without restriction. That's really who we are and what we do,” McFaddin said.
McFaddin was appointed on Sept. 11 of last year to Grant Chapel African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Albuquerque, and she currently serves as the second female pastor in the church’s history.
