A Chicago church has announced it will be 'fasting from whiteness' for Lent by abstaining from performing any hymns composed or written by Caucasian musicians. The First United Church of Oak Park announced that for 2022 the church would do a mix of 'giving something up' and 'taking something on' for Lent by not using music written or composed by white people but instead focus on music from other cultures.

So, they will be silent services?.............
here is my theory of those who complain or accuse others of racism, is that they are as or more racist than the accused
From what I can tell this church is “affirming” and “woke”. Thus it’s filled with the self hating, gay, woke crowd. Basically, the type that want to play church while still wallowing in their depravity and sin. Rather than conform to His image, they are dragging Jesus in the filth.
Here is a recent sermon...makes my skin crawl.

“Forget it, Jake...it’s Oak Park.”
It’s a free country...
The very obvious answer is that few take them seriously or even view them as part of the larger community; an anomaly of history that people just endure from afar.
Racism and hate do not belong in the church. At all. From anybody.
Fasting from whiteness.
For Lent you must give up:
Electricity
Pharmaceutical drugs
Automobiles
Airplanes
Computers
Modern agriculture
etc.
Woke congregation: “Jesus, we only sang negro spirituals”
Jesus: “Go away, I dont’ know you.”
Ha! Just wait until they find out who wrote those spirituals....
They did that years ago, and not just for Lent.
Woke people all went to the same school Some Place Over The Rainbow.
You can’t be a Christian and hate whitey.
Yep. Especially since he was put in a position to guide and influence others and is using that to promote hate and divisiveness.
And they don’t much like it when we act racist. Of course, whites haven’t done anything like this in decades since the democrats protested the civil rights act.
Or anybody. Not even Soros, Obama, Biden, Fauci…
I struggle with that sometimes but I have to pray that people like that will one day see the light.
I'd be standing up and walking out during that announcement. The pastor won't care that much if you sit down. He WILL care if your family stops financially supporting him and his wokeness.
My policy is that I will not offer support to any organization that is "against whiteness".
Not racist at all.
Hey there First United Church of Oak Park- God does not like racists. Might wanna check your “Christian card”. I think it’s expir3d!
Pastor looks and sounds like a soy-boy, if not outright gay.
