Being the only Black person in the room is nothing new to Annette Nettles, pastor of Love at the Cross, a small congregation in Washougal.
Nettles’ own relatives are often the only Black faces she sees as she looks out across her tiny flock of 21 members.
It’s not that Nettles is unaware of the differences between herself and her white, mostly older congregants. It’s that she feels called to overcome those differences and help others see how to overcome them, too.
