I've gone to a couple of Baptist churches here (that's what dominates Waco) but they are white - all white. There are some all black congregations, too. I am not used to that, and am very uncomfortable with it.

If that makes you uncomfortable, then you might want to try the Methodists.

I have NO trouble with black people wanting to worship with other blacks, or with whites doing so.

As a matter of fact, it seemed like your comment implied some sort of underlying racism, which I am NOT comfortable with, either.

I've just always been a part of mixed congregations with a wide variety of ages and where anyone of any race was welcomed and felt comfortable. I could invite friends from school or work to go to church with me without considering their race or that they wouldn't "fit in."

I don't think there is any significant racism left in any of the Texas Churches. Waco is not a town with a large influx of new people, and when you live in the same town your family has always been in, you tend to go to the same church your grandparents went to. Forty years ago the Churches were segregated, and today, most people are still going to grannie's church, so they are still de facto segregated and I doubt it will end.

I think I find being uncomfortable in a place that is not multi racial is as perverse as being uncomfortable in one that is integrated
