Answer 2

I'd like to see a citation for your assumption that Sunday is the most segregated day of the week, but I'm not saying it isn't true. When I look at the nightclubs (for example) in the town I live in, Friday nights are pretty highly segregated to...I've spent a lot of time in country bars in my life and I have rarely seen a black person in one ... and I've gone to bars that play primarily Tejano music and been the only non-Hispanic person in the room!

...and if it is true, I'm not sure it is a problem that needs to be addressed. People should choose to worship where they feel comfortable and with people they feel comfortable with. I've enjoyed attending a "predominantly Black" church from time to time because I enjoy the uninhibited style of worship and the music...but I wouldn't get anything out of attending services at a Spanish-speaking church because I don't understand the language...is there something wrong with that? Some churches do promote racism, and there is something wrong with that. However, if people choose to attend a particular church because it "fits" their culture and their individual needs, the fact that the congregation is predominantly one race or another isn't a problem.

Answer 3

I have wondered about this also. I served a black church a number of years ago and found it to be a very uplifting experience. But I wasn't drawing the youth. They were going down the street to the Black Baptist Church.

I think part of the problem is cultural and involves age. The cultural aspect has to do with style of worship. Black worship can go for 2-3 hours without a problem. They live the music and their worship is exciting. A similar type of worship is emerging with the contemporary service. But this won't work in many churches with older people as part of the core.

We also find divisions by language and area. As an example, where I live the community is largely white with a growing Hispanic population. To reach out to the Hispanic population we really need a service in Spanish which again segregates the communities.

I guess I am agreeing with you about the need. I am also saying it isn't strictly prejudice. That is sometimes involved. But it also involves differences in style of worship and language, etc.

Answer 4

Well, I'm going to a mostly ***** Church for the first time in 10 years this Sunday, so maybe I'll have additional thoughts on that on Monday.

As for the last time, I really didn't like the service at all. The Minister's "sermon" was an angry political rant that didn't even quote the Bible. So, perhaps some of the segregation of Churches isn't based on RACISM at all.

I'm hoping I'll enjoy it more this Sunday. I've already heard the Choir at other events. They're good.

Answer 5

Racism starts and can be stopped at home, if racism is being taught in a church you are going to .... find another church.

Answer 6

In the true church of Christ there is no such thing as racism!

God Bless

Answer 7

Every one is welcome at my church. But many choose to go to their own style service.
We don't sing gospel music for example.

Answer 8

Throw out that stupid bible, ignore the church's racist history - for starters.

Yeah, that'll happen.

Answer 9

I don't know of any racist churches other than Mormonism.
