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"  |
I once had an acquaintance/co-worker who ended up in a Behavioral Health hospital because of trying to deal with cruelty from people over her relationship with a black man. They have been together for years and had a daughter together. She said to me, "I can't help my love for him. He is so kind to me and treats me better than anyone I have ever been with"
She passed away from breast cancer a while back. But many times people fall in love with those who understand them the best and are good to them. Treating mixed raced couples cruel is just plain meanness whether it happen out in the world or in the churches. What's it to anybody else who people fall in love with and marry?
Is America really free? Very few countries bat an eyelid at mixed race marriages.
