How many different races/nationalities are in attendance at your church? Is is varied or are most of the same race? If so why?

I am pleased to see that most say many races/nationalities. There is hope that if we can worship together we can learn to live as one too.

Well, I attend a chuch where I live now, and the entire area is about 90% white 10% black - so is the church. I went to a church where I used to live in an area that was 90% black and 10% white. Guess what? so was the church.
Now, I'm not a statistician, but I'm going to guess (not being an anthropologist or anything either) that the racial makeup of the church was approximately porportional to the racial makeup of the neighborhood.

Mostly white Americans, except for a few bi-racial children that occasionally attend with step-parents. I assume the reason is just that it's a relatively small church, made up mostly of families who have attended there for generations, but all are welcome. Good point shomechely, It is also in a rural area that has few other races living in the area.

Funny you should ask we had a count of how many different nations where represented at our church we had over 20!Converted Muslims, Jews, Hindu, just to name a few. I was very impressed by it. My Church is non denominational in New England. Massachusetts. I know it is because of God, He is the one who brings all nations together every tongue in agreement under one banner His Son!

Kelli, the answer for your question is participation. when you're there to be with kin help or study it is wonderful. yet you may't in any way take area contained in the service. 0. Nada. No can do. you may't sing their songs, leap up and down, say "Amen" to the sermons. you may want to be there to help a experience of team spirit for kin/friends. to attain that's a sin, To be between those of different faiths in diverse 'denominations' and take area says "I agree" or "I settle for" with them. Do you settle for all the teachings of Church of God? Do you deny all the teachings of the only authentic faith, Catholicism? If the answer is "no" to both questions....why are you going?? No excuse is proper. As a Catholic, i do no longer trust it truly is smart to attend Protestant or non-denom Bible study for those very motives - there's a continuing eroding of the Catholic's beliefs in want of human being authority and interpretation. So, i might want to assert from a Catholic point of view, to enter into an evangelical placing, what strikes me the most is the uniqueness and the presumption that we may be able to bypass it on our own - and the implicit denial of issues Catholic. - In that experience, that's against my Catholic and Christian faith. did you know for a undeniable reality that this received't harm you daughter? also, attendance at a Protestant service can't stand as an determination to needed attendance at Sunday Mass. you may want to attend Sunday Mass. don't love what I say? Sorry hon! I have 5 diverse Popes which have made this proclamation, and that i stand with the help of it one hundred fifty%

In my congregation we have: Columbians, Finns, Japanese, Mexicans, El Salvadorians, British, all sorts of Anglos of European descent, Argentines and a few Canadians. So, it's a nice International House of Pancakes, except there are no pancakes, just Jesus and the good word of the Gospel.

i attend a catholic church in the Toronto area -- Toronto is for the most part highly multicultural and so is our church.
This makes me wonder why aren't muslim mosques a reflection of the cultural makeup of the population?

Churches are social clubs for a given cultural expression.
