St Mark if you dont mind, please tell us what this has to do with the issue at hand here, namely the relative lack of representation of men of color in the upper echelons of the UPCI.
I agree. I'm still flabergasted that anyone would float that as a possible reason... flabbergasted also that anyone would try to give [anecdotal] support such an outrageous contention, as if it actually contains any merit.
TR, you being surprised to here this is actually pretty reassuring to me. I was wondering whether this may be something that was whispered about quietly and was actually viewed as a legitimate concern. I had never heard this before and I wonder if by him putting it out there and others possibly agreeing meant that this was something that was actually thought amongst our ranks. If so, it is shameful in my opinion and very disrespectful to the many great Black pastors, leaders, preachers, and missionaries that I know.
