If I may take it a step farther, I'll say I've heard too many stories of racial prejudice in Apostolic (especially UPC) circles.

I know of someone that went to a particular UPC bible college that told me that the college discouraged interracial relationships, insomuch that they had a rule that if 2 students of different races wanted to date, the school's policy was to notify their parents of it to get their approval. To me, that just had a very "Big-Brother", totalitarian, intimidating feel to it. (That was more than 5 ago. I dont know if the school still has that policy).

Unfortunately I'm told there are some of our brethren in some of the predominantly black Apostolic denominations who consider the UPC to be quite racist. Personally, I dont think dont a fair statement to make at all, but there are definitely pockets of ignorance and prejudice that still exist in more than a few certain UPC churches.
