Re: Diversity in Church

You hit this one right on the head friend~ The last church we attended....my husband and I were treated so awful it was sad. The pastor was made aware and done nothing!!! ( and to see where TB is today... ) But like you said....most churches want only ONE "race" and if you are not a part of that "race"...you are OUT and shunned! As for the latter of your post...."one race" churches will NEVER see a person of a different culture put in any kind of leadership or taking part in different ministries inside the church........JUST ASK ME AND MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "They" made sure they kept the "mixed" couple "hidden" and quiet~ I do NOT hold any grudge against that church or the people in charge but it sort of hurts to think about it.
btw...I am Native American and my husband is black...not welcomed in MOST churches we have seen~ ESPECIALLY in the south~ When we had to move to the south for a few years bc of my husbands job...we were asked to leave one church and shunned so bad at another...it made it impossible to go just to worship. My husband and I are not from the south and totally unaware that some people can be so hateful....but life goes on ~ Still holding my head up and proud of my heritage and MY wonderful HUSBAND that GOD brought into my life 32 years ago!!!! A Very blessed and strong marriage...in spite of what SOME may think of "interracial marriages"
