We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

Would a church like this be tolerated in the south?
Suppose we change some of the words to read.

We are a congregation which is unashamedly white and
unapolegetically Christian. Our roots in the Southern religious
experience and tradition are deep,lasting and permanent. We
are a Southern people, and remain "true to our native land,"
the mother region, the cradle of civilization. God has
superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the
days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address
injustices as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly
affirm our trust in God through cultural expression or a white
worship service and ministries which address the white
Community.

okay i'll go here

im not a relious person by any means but im pretty sure all churches let people of every color into them
also isnt he half black there for by not being "fully black"
would they still let him join?


what is the sense in segregating if blacks want to be considered equal?

would there not be an uproar if there was an all white ncaap kinda group or a scholarship program just for whites like the untied negro fund (i think theres a native american one too)?
