I'm not so sure there is such an animal.

Oh, there is indeed such an animal. Maybe you've never see it, but it exists.
I could tell you stories I've heard of in Apostolic circles... would make you cringe.

My point is that I'm not sure a person can truly be Apostolic if they are a racist.
There's some pretty clear cut scripture about not being respecters of persons, and in fact, James said that if we have respect to persons, we do commit sins.
I'm not talking about the label they wear, I'm talking about what's truly in one's heart.
Hence, I say one can't be truly Apostolic and be a bigot.
In my opinion, at least.

Re: ~~~~Interracial Marriage~~~~
I could tell ya'll some stories that would curl your
hair(if straight) about racism in the church, things
I've heard preachers say and do. I wont repeat it
as it would only aid in causing bitter feelings and
stereotying
Things have improved and most people will say
the right things so not to appear bigoted but
privately tell their kids " not in our family". They
say the right things publically but when it hits home
things change very fast.

It would be nice if they came out of the closet. I'd like to understand their mentality, if that's even possible.
Let the witch hunt begin!!!

I'll save you 1/3rd of the witch hunt. I am one of the yes votes but not because of racism but because of the enormous strain put on the marriage by the people we live among who Dan was refering to. One point most are missing is the racism runs both ways. We have a niece (white) in a relationship with a very hard working, very nice black man whose family will not recognize or have anything to do with the kids. I had a cousin married to an american indian who was raised on the reservation. The cultural differences were enormous and the marriage ended in divorce. I'm not against it on a case by case basis but they should understand there are many, many ignorant biased and mean people that they and their kids will have to deal with. I will say both cases I referred to are not people in the church.
