But to the orginal thought of the thread, I have ended up preaching more in black churches than any other...and I am as much of a pale face as any...And that is with native american in my veins as well!
"Bragging" was too strong a word, and for that I apologize. My main point is that I'm wondering how many mixed culture Apostolic churches have black pastors.
Thad's church is one.

Same here...However not all churches can be that way because of the demographic of the surrounding area. but they should at least mirror the community they are located in....
I remember as a 15 yr old young man, inviting my older friend and neighbor to church. She said "...when I go to church, I go to a black church."
I don't agree, but I understand why someone of 'color' wouldn't trust my white preacher and his church full of....
mexicans.
Speaking of racism...it is statements like this that really puzzles me...you advocate equality between black and white yet you slur the mexicans/hispanics. I am married to a Hispanic womanfor 22 years and am offended at your slur!! ADMIN where are you??

I believe that Berkeley himself is Hispanic. I think his comment was TIC at his own race!

While working on my second Master's degree...I worked 3 years as a middle school teacher for a school district that has 39,000 students. Of the 39,000 students, less than 100 of them were 'white'. In the 60's the AA sued for racial equality in the education system. Where is that same request for balance today. The point is, they don't want balance, they are human just like the white people, they want total control.
And, by the way, I heard AA kids calling each other the 'N' word all day everyday. 'N' this and 'N' that. All day long, these AA kids called each other the 'N' word!!! Change must come from within.
It is obvious to me in all of the environments and places that I have lived and worked, respectively, that white people are more inclusive that AA. White people who get on the band wagon pointing their fingers at other whites about their percieved racism are more racist against their on culture than their white counterparts are agains AA.

Right. In my area whites are a minority, but more than blacks. Hispanics make up the majority. The break down in order or numbers is hispanic, white, black then asians. And most of the black people go to the same churches they consider to be "black" churches with black pastors. Same with Hispanic and Filipino and Korean...then there are the other churches that are mixed pretty much along the demographic lines.

Just a not so subtle reminder to everyone but the Admin is or are not GOD. We are NOT omnipresent...so if you think there is a problem use the POST reporting tool and then the gods ...I mean the admins will take a look and see if it warrants any action. Also know that when we do an action we don't announce it to everyone
