[QUOTE="rturner76, post: 70170742, member: 284067"] I saw this lecture too and it is amazing. I wish people would familiarize themselves with the "Willie Lynch Letter" too. It's where we get the term "Lynching" from. I grew up in a black church that didn't say a word about homosexuality. In fact, in my personal experience, the majority of choir directors I have met in the churches have been gay. I think the outrage against gays is a Baptist thing white or black. Baptists don't go for it. Everybody has had their own experience in the church black or otherwise but the main thing missing in the black churches is not good doctrine or good commentary about the state of our neighborhoods. It's missing back MEN. It's even missing young women. All my life when I went to church all I saw was little old ladies and children. A handful of married couples and a few others but it was old ladies and children. So the best thing you can do for the black church is not to leave and whine about it but attend regularly and even try to get a friend or two to go with you and be active on the church council. There your voice can be heard and changes to get made on those counsels. Many or even most times they have more power than the Pastor. [/QUOTE]
