I congregate with other like minded people.
“I will make you fishers of Multiculturalism”
He makes church sound like a service industry.
Dude, it is multicultural and transcultural and it transcends culture.
In Christ you are neither jew nor greek.
He needs to get out more.
There are exception of course. Our church is very diverse. We have an associate minister originally from Iran. He has brought in many new families from Iran. Then we have Egyptians, Chinese, Japanese, S. Koreans, Philippians’s, Mexicans, a few black and of course white.
Freedom of association trumps multiculturalism.
Yeah right, like churches “hire” their congregations.....
Liberals. Is there anything they can’t ruin?
Wherecare all thecwhite people at Trinity Lutheran?
Can we just, for ONCE, blame those who are NOT there instead of those who ARE. Just once, let it be their decision NOT to go to church, to sleep in, to NOT believe in God, instead of the church’s responsibility.
Are there any grown-ups around the media these days?
When I was a kid, I had an elementary school 200 yards from my front door and a middle school across the street. To satisfy a bunch of Yankee judges, I was bussed across town for 9 years to put some cream in the coffee.
I’m not going to be bussed across town to worship with blacks. They worship their way, and we worship our way. (To be honest, their way is a lot more fun.)
Christians of every color worship the same God, and it isn’t at the altar of multi-culti.
My church isn’t the least bit ‘multicultural’. We only have a spectrum of Christians in the congregation, no Jews, no Muslims, no atheists, no Scientologists, no Buddhists, no animists, no pagans....
Speaking for my church, it is open to anybody of any race or background who wishes to come in.
Not finding that requirement in my Bible, therefore it is irrelevant.
Oh shut up
My ancestors had slaves in their churches
In the balcony usually but not always but they damn sure had them under their same roof
And today
My Baptist church has black members and a black assistant pastor
Man I loathe these folks
Out here on the west coast of the four churches in my city, three have Hispanic Masses. One of them has three Hispanic Masses and one Vietnamese Mass.
Do we pass the test?
Maybe he should step into a Catholic church. One faith. Multiple ethnicities. That was one of the benefits of the use of Latin. You could go into any church in the world and have the same Mass. No balkanization.
No church should sacrifice it’s doctrinal values for the sake of a more diverse congregation.
This is kind of silly. What the heck do they mean by “multicultural” ?? In theory shouldn’t the Church be of a singular “culture” ??
Multi-racial or Multi-ethnic seems like it would be a more appropriate term
So what?
