i just would like to know why their is seperation due to skin color in church. I mean why do you have all one color churches, and why is this shown to be true on the christian network when they show all one skin color gatherings.
i just dont get it.

Cultural differences bring about different styles of worship. I personally love listening to a African-American preacher's sermon. It is extremely uplifting and moving in both style and content. The chorus, as well, is always incredible.

Usually, I gravitate more towards the traditional (sleep inducing) style of service, because that's simply what I'm used to and comfortable with. I haven't been to church in a while, but our church was quite integrated. Sunday morning religious service is typically our nation's most segregated hour.

Culture Culture Culture. Religion is very culturally based. Not necessarily racially based, but culturally.

Plus the fact that churches themselves are very local. You tend to worship with the people in your neighborhood. And most neighborhoods are not highly integrated.

The race issue is pretty obvious in most denomenations. The Pentecostals are the only ones who deliberatly bridged that gulf. Early in their history Pentecostals said that there is no difference between black and white according to the Scriptures and began to fellowship together when this was unheard of. Keep in mind that the Civil Rights movement of the 60s came from the churches, thats why when King recieved the Nobel Peace Prize he mentioned that that year 40 churches had been burnt to the ground. I wouldnt go insinuating that there is something racist about religion, eglatarian thought and activity will come from the chruches or it wont happen.

thats what i mean i guess, to most people in this world, religion and self, and i guess a societys moral flavors come from the orginization of such. I just see the accepted or wanted segregation being what it is in the church, not only that but the church itself really does not seem care. During the civil rights era, black folk had to riot just to go to church. And i do believe some church ministers or what not even tried to help this go along, but of course you had resistence to. i am not trying to bash the church, i would say that if i wanted to, its a free country, more or less i was trying to debate race and church, i dont know how that will happen now.

My wife is Roman Catholic, I have never seen Roman Catholic churches segregate by race. Nor Islamic mosques, for that matter. Possibly due to there being fewer alternatives. Just an observation.

What I meant was that race is a local phenomenon, which represents the locality. It is not denominational. For instance, the Catholic Church has 200 million black members worldwide.
Black Catholics Number 200 Million Worldwide

But the church which I personally attend is almost all white. Because the neighborhood is almost all white. That does not mean that Catholicism is a white religion.

I get the meaning of the culture gap in church going, like how the catholic religion is to mexico and so forth. But here in the states dont you see that as a marker more or less of reality, we say we live in this very cultured community, i do like to belive so. I think it would be nice to see how mixed up it is in say new york, but race and culture and self seems to be very important, just as much as religious identifycation. More or less, i guess its just human and its current state. Religion in itself is rather segregated, you have the unitarian's,but for the most part a denomination is stuck to rather well, for most people, i just wonder if it is something deeper then the surface or location.
