Sitting on my platform every Sunday night are two black preachers, one hispanic preacher, and three white preachers.
However, not a single one is up there because of their race and none are kept off because of their race.
We have more hispanics than blacks (slightly) but they are not offended by the mix on the platform.
I would have all-white, all-black, or whatever. The requirement is the calling and the consecration...not race.
The ministry is no place for racism or affirmative action. When a church has neither God's calling and placing is the deciding factor. The sin comes in if anyone is unwilling to train, work with, utilize men because of their race.
The lack of racism in our church is not because of its location. Our minorities run into this factor at work all the time.
