Talk show host Oprah Winfrey has revealed her new TV show "Greenleaf" will explore the "flawed" side of Christianity.
The 62-year-old star said the programme, which she both acts in and produces, has been concocted to help "raise consciousness and lift people up," reported People magazine.
"Do you not think people in the church are flawed? That's why they're going... I do everything from the point of view of intention, and the intention in all of my work is to raise consciousness and lift people up. I am not gonna do anything that is derogatory toward the church because I am of the church.
"The church is such a powerful institution in the African-American community and, I thought, a bedrock for storytelling and for sinning and for learning how to forgive and to overcome your flaws and faults and all that. So it's just a beautiful platform," she said during her outing at Tribeca Film Festival.
