Catholic Churches I have been in are diverse.
Why do you think the left hates the evangelicals so much out of all the different churches? Because they were the driving force behind the end of slavery, civil rights, the vote for blacks and women.
My days of feeling any “white guilt” over the plights of blacks in America are long gone.
Out of wedlock child bearing, affirmative action, multi-generational welfarism, burning Lost Angeles down twice, crime, filthy music, and Obama did me in.
The first black President could have meant a lot,, but he failed most assuredly. (of course because of him, what he believed, etc.)
I would suggest the reason is that they know that evalangelicals left to their own devices would try to rule the world.
Exactly why radical Eric Holder demanded those statistics no longer be gathered.
New York Times.
What a joke.
Sure, that is why getting out of the homosexual/pedophile Roman Catholic Church and liberal non-Catholic churches is critical for one’s salvation/sanctification/glorification
You’re actually believing the NY Times narrative. Mistake.
Jesus has told us unbelievers hate us because they hate him. When I hear hate from anyone claiming to be a believer I know they live for someone other than Jesus Christ.
Politics of we must elect democrats comes from deceived unbelievers.
__But most black Christians who I have known are just doing race hustling in a different way.___
“Most? Can that really be the case?”

My reaction as well - quite a blanket condemnation, based on what sort of sample?
New York Times would love this clear case guy for furthering the agenda of dividing people, especially Christians.
“I would suggest the reason is that they know that evalangelicals left to their own devices would try to rule the world.”
What an asinine comment. The theology of the Founding fathers’ era was Protestant, specifically mostly from Puritans of New England states and also influenced by Anglicans in Virginia. The Puritans were the evangelicals of their day. Bible-believing people. It was out of that milieu that the Founding Fathers sought a limited constitutional republic. It’s the same way today. Bible-believing Christians (evangelicals, Tea Party folks) want a limited government that will stay out of our lives. Get your facts right! You’re sounding like an uninformed liberal.
How many Blacks follow the Real Jesus?
5%?
Maybe 1% at best IMHO.
That’s why they’re leaving. He doesn’t preach the Social Justice or Money Making Gospel that their spirits crave.
Acts 16:31
Romans 10:9-10
John 6:29
John 14:6
Blacks (and everybody else) had better listen up. Their deeds according to the verses above will determine their judgement.
SO. This chick goes to a single white church once, and never again,,,judging it not worthy because she didn’t hear Black Lives Matter in the hymns?
and this ONE black chick then concludes Blacks are leaving White churches?
Methinks the conclusion was made beforehand, and this is just black racism on display.
Liberal Logic = oxymoron.
We attend a Messianic Jewish Synagogue and its very racially an culturally diverse. So again the NY Times gets the story wrong. I would not attend a mega church if u paid me. About 90% of the churches in America have an average attendance of under 100. I am a retired Pastor of over 45 years an feel perfectly at home being grafted in this this group of believers and besides NY TIMES it does not mess with Sunday Football because we worship on Saturday so stick that in your Starbucks! Ha!
Aren’t churches already some of the most self segregated organizations in the US?
I guess George Wallace was ahead of his time?
I’m a “honky” who had been going to a historically black congregation for a while. The pulpit preaching is orthodox enough, but there are some weird overtones. I can’t be too picky, but I see it there, the almost reflexive belief in Democrats and the de rigueur sneer at Donald Trump. A little of this I can take; a lot of it screams systematic bias.
I’d think the special nature of the synagogue (church) is overriding lesser social considerations.
I went to a Baptist church in Hagerstown, MD which was almost exactly half black. I would note that having a Haitian theological school next door to it had an influence.
Shibboleths can get silly, like “if you wear lipstick you’ll go to hell.” So can prooftexts wrenched out of context. (Apostles could sometimes sense impending group salvations.)
