I was just presenting a situation, and asking for thoughts about it. YOU have acknowledged, as has Steve Epley, that this situation is taking place. The point here, is that there is a girl who is broken-hearted because apparently a pastor doesn't want her to leave the church to marry someone, and even though that someone is black, and she is white, that is not really the issue.

You have admitted experiencing a similar situation in your life. We are discussing something that is happening right now in my family member's life which has shaken her world. I am sorry for the twist the thread took, but when you have an internet forum, that is what can happen.

I would like to get the thread back on track, back to the issue at hand, and continue with open dialogue about this issue.
