yep... perhaps there is a kinder, gentler way to say the same thing, I forget not everyone knows if I am joking or serious....HoneyDew said:I just had to ask just for clarification ... you know how sometimes one can misunderstand.
Thanks

Does any of the those that have posted to this thread, or feel the church is racist, attend an integrated church?

thehayesman said:I think these are great points to confront in your denomination. I'm a baptist, and we struggle with some of the same issues, though some are clearly denominationally specific. I hope we can all learn to keep on changing things as you say until Jesus comes. Stagnant churches will be made to serve Satan eventually, its true.
If we were really serious about being the "Remnant" church we would be serious about ironing out those spots and wrinkles.
WEll, we basically suffer from the same ills from which society suffers. We will start with the fact that in the US our church is still, officially, segregated. Sure there is some blending here and there, but officially there are white conference and Regional[black] conferences. These were started because even though EGW gave instruction to do evangelism aamong the blacks, the white Adventist did not want to worship in the same churches with blacks,a nd sadly they still exist today. This is being discussed in depth in another thread. But we can start there. That is a huge wrinkle right there.
BTW, Welcome, I am a newbie myself!
well its not a secret.....exactly.... though its not something the church should be proud of.......I must admit, I haven't heard about the White/Black conferences until now.
I've sent in a question about that to letstalk.adventist.org, so I'll see what the answer is.
