Racial Diversity

Why haven't I ever been a part of a racially diverse church? Or am I missing something?

Where have you BEEN? Haven't you seen those two black guys sitting in the front of Colonial? "Never been in a racially diverse church" my eye.

So why do you think?

There's no such thing as true unanimity--only apparent unanimity. We think: 'He talks like I do,' 'she has the same occupation,' 'She has the same color skin,' 'he has a familiar parenting situation.' That, for most of us, is compelling. We desperately want to be understood. These similarities are almost all superficial, however. Appropriating the gospel liberates us from Apparently's bondage, enabling us to find camaraderie in that which is Actual.
