Bible Note: Hi Bibleman You most certainly are welcome at this forum! I'd like to add my two widows mites again, if I may. In mostly urban and some poor areas, neighborhoods that are still segregated, do unfortunately, still have segregated congregations. But this is in many cases, geographical. I think too that, this is gradually becoming less and less of the norm. In many rural and suburban areas of the US, many of the neighborhoods that are culturally and racially mixed, do reflect this in the mixing of the cultures and races found in many Churches that are outside of segregated neighborhoods. The problem with us humans is, we tend to like to hang out with people that look act and talk just like us. And this will still lead to some of us jugging others that we don't understand too well. As Christians though, we can be a light to the unsaved world, in how we are supposed to act toward everyone, regardless of race creed or culture. John |
