I'm baffled how any Christ seeking body of believers can miss some basics of Christian worship.

For example, "Unabashedly Black and Unapologetically Christian", seems to forget to sacrifice the old man.

The use of the word 'unapologetic' in a well studied Christian environment brings to mind the study of 'Apologetics' in the faith. It also raises the question if this congregation truly is Christian or is merely a worldly counterfeit as a politico-social club resorting to religious appearance.

IMHO, I've never understood the appeal to race, color, sex, or nationality when one is studying our relationship with God. Perhaps the historical and prophetic study of the Hebrew nation of Israel, but everybody else simply fall into the category of Gentile, not black or white of Asian or Hispanic.

Sort of like "Black Work Ethic". The first thing that jumped in my mind was the shiftless losers outside the subway doing the step-n-fetchit routine, but I had to remind myself of Black acquatenances who went from GED to Masters degrees all while working.

A work ethic isn't Black or White. It's good or bad and any member of any race can have either. These people remind me of the Stormfront crowd.
