Well unbaffle yourself and describe how it is that you sit for an hour in a Black Church when there is no Mass taking place. Tell us about how common your experience is and then why they call it a "Black Church"?
This was a Wednesday night Bible study, after a meeting about an upcoming AME conference.
Most Christian churches have a Wednesday night Bible study/meeting.
There is no “Mass” or church service generally on Wednesday nights.
There was nothing out of the ordinary for a Wednesday night at this church, or tens of thousands like it.
Okay. Is see where your coming from. Not baffled anymore by why you would ask the question.
