Exactly. LOL!!! It's only the white/black unions that "concern" them.  It would seem that if the cultural argument were the real issue, that it would be just as bad for a New Yorker to marry a Southerner. Come to think of it, that probably IS a bad idea!!!!

It has long been a regret of mine, that the church was not at the forefront of overcoming that history (particularly the Apostolic church, since we do claim to be the Church). I say that if two people are in love and the will of God...go for it. Their chances of making it can't be any worse than anybody else's these days.
I heard an old Black preacher in Pentecost say "don't call me Brother, if deep down you feel you are too good to call me Brother-in-Law, because Brother is a much more intimate relationship"

That's really good. I'm going to use that!
