Is your church multi-racial/multi-cultural?
And if so/not so why?
I've posted a lot about my experiences with OP churches but I have not posted about one of the things that disturbs me most. Here where I live the churches are all divided along strict racial lines. Also most pastors typically will not marry inter-racial couples even when both are HG filled.
I am a light skinned biracial person who is usually assumed to be white married to a white man. We have always been accepted in the local OP churches but hear the N-bomb dropped pretty often as well as slurs against hispanics. My nephew that we raised is a darker shade of brown and was razed at the local OP christian school for his color.
Just wondering if you find these kinds of things typical or if this is something unique to my area too.
