Riiiight
Mero I show up at black churches often. I've never been treated with hostility. This is a very self hating comment really.

I have a home church I call mine, but I visit many churches and denominations. Not to long ago I attened a little whole in the wall black chuch in Bridgeport CT, if you know anything about Bridgeport it is a very crime/murder infested city. I think I created a whole thread not long ago.

I've never once felt out of place. Then again I think most of it is how you carry yourself in places. I go in and am very comfortable.

Most people of god, love gods people. No matter what color, race, nationality, or ethnic back round.
