"Us" and "Them" - Christianity in America

Great blog entry:

The Heresy of an Unreconciled Church


This is a blog I love to read although it gets quite deep (which I almost always appreciate).

I am still digesting the information so I don't quite know what to say about it yet. I definitely see this happening in churches I have attended. I also can understand people's desires to be around people like themselves, people that don't challenge them or their worldview in any way. And I am also frustrated by this feeling/attitude, especially among white Christians that somehow race just isn't an issue anymore.

  1. Oh, I can't tell if my comment is going to be moderated or not. If this is the only one you get from me, then I did something wrong.

    Let me see what happens.

  2. Okay. I guess I did something wrong. Basically, I am here from AUJ5's Mom's blog and I read the article you linked. Very thought provoking. I would be curious to know about the political leanings of the Christians mentioned, what part of the country they are from, etc. I do feel fortunate that my church has some diversity. We are still more white than anything else, but we all have different political views, etc. It is a very interesting place to be!

  3. Didn't you hear that America is absolved from racism since Obama was elected president. Everything's equal now.
