Wesleyans getting more ecumenically liberal lately? That would be news to my wife.

Well, I don't know about that, but there IS a local church who is MUCH more diverse.

They've invited a mostly black congregation to worship, using the same facilities, and also a Hispanic one that meets in the fellowship hall as well.


They says there's no need to let the buildings set empty when the Lord's work can be getting done.

The mostly white original congregation is getting older, the demographics of the neighborhood is changing and these other worship teams can reach people that they would not be able to reach.

Our local C&MA (Alliance) congregation’s building was shared with Hmong until they got their own building several years back. The Montagnard worshipped with us at our same services.

Building burned to the ground later.

Now we attend a Bible church. They want me to wear a tie. More prot traditions to contend with.
