The black church - Help with thesis statement

I have this topic:
Riggs wants the black church to embrace gays and lesbians and acknowledge their contributions; he shows us a gay, black congregation singing gospel music which offers a safe and loving sanctuary for all black people regardless of sexual orientation. Can the black church be a site for reconciliation?

And I my question is this a strong thesis statement:
The black church theology hinders it ability to embrace homosexuals.

Greetings!

Yes, I think that is a good thesis statement. You make a statement that you must support in your essay, which exactly the point of the thesis. It also does a good job of answering the essay question about reconciliation in the black church.

As long as you are able to find opinion on both sides of the issue, and plenty of support for your position, you should be fine with your thesis.

Thanks, and good luck!
