you still failed to answer my first question

Sorry but you are wrong about this.I have black friends who pastor a UPC church and everytime I get a chance I run over there on Saturdays to knock doors with her and stay for the Sunday services to play the piano and work in the altars.They are reaching a city I lived in as a child and have a burden for.I would be a member any day of the week if God moved me there.
The pastors name is Brother Freddie Johnston and he is an awesome man of God.His wife is one of the best friends I have ever had.

Excuse me but you need to come to Pensacola Fl for a visit.We have all kinds of mixed marriages.That is a biased statement to say people attending UPC churches.
BTW I like the glasses..nice touch.

AB, I really don't know wether you're being sarcastic (mainly because I do not know you) or serious. I will say that I'm not nieve enough to believe that racism doesn't happen in the UPC, I just haven't seen it from my perspective, or at the very least, protected from seeing it.

A side note to everyone else, I go to a mixed church, and my wife came from a church that was very multi-cultural in Toronto, pastored by Timothy Pickard. Also there is a black pastor that pastors another church in Toronto that is friends with my wifes former pastor. I'm sure some of you have heard of him; Grenville McKenzie.
