(To me, these "holier that thous" arent as holy as they think, if they have a problem with an anointed man of God because of his skin color.)
I hate hearing stores like this. But maybe it just reminds us that some things haven't changed as much as we would like to think.
Some say the UPC is progressing, as far as spreading the gospel is concerned. And maybe it is. But the UPC still needs to progress a lot more in terms of some of dealing with the racial "issues" that still lie beneath the surface, and been theres for decades.
Too bad that a lot of pastors and preachers dont seem to want to address the issue head on, from the pulpit.
