and there is no way on God's green earth we would ever consider moving there.
Remember what Farrakhan said? They had everything in Africa before the White man came and stole it. They even had wings and would fly around the Pyramids until White invaders came and shot them down. Well, apparently one thing they didn't have was gunpowder.
The Lord has blessed us with another exciting year for the Men's Chorus, and can you believe we are celebrating our 23rd year as strong African American men who are "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian." It has been an awesome journey as we strive together as One Voice, One Choir.
I wonder - if I decided to join this church, would I be allowed to join the choir? Would they change any of the wording on their web page?
Ping!
What the heck?! I can't join their Church because I am a "Dutch-American"? What kind of Crap is that?
I was thinking the same thing. Their "black values systems" sounds divisive and racist.
Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
This a UCC church. They haven't been a Bible-believing denomination for the past 50 years.
I just e-mailed them.......
bttt
And I thought the Episcopal Church was bad.
The United Church of Christ seems to be a very liberal church denomination. But it should not be confused with The Church of Christ which from what I gather is very conservative.
I kept on seeing Barry Lynn on TV enjoying using the title of reverend then one day got curious as to what church would except his philosophy so I looked it up.
Not surprising. UCC is way out in left field, has been for a long time.
What's troubling is people like Rick Warren (purportedly conservative?!) giving Obama such a good report and a platform at his church. I can't believe some 'conservative' people even on this forum can't see through Rick Warren's falsehood YET.
How can a pastor justify continually "editing" what he's publicly said???
No more so than any Evangelical church.
Interesting, a supposedly Christian has an entire web page where the word Jesus doesn't appear once. Shows you were their hearts are.
They're "unapologetically Christian"... as long as that doesn't interfere with their "non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA."
The fact that probably 95% of them have never set foot on Africa, and that America is their true native home, seems to be beside the point.
American blood paid for their religious freedom. American soldiers bought and paid for their right to meet as Christians without fear of extermination by Muslims. Do they even begin to comprehend the differences between African and American life, and why those differences exist??
I don't think so. They sound particularly embittered and that isn't Christian.
Re your post #35. It looks like you are claiming that all Evangelical Churches have "chips on their shoulders". Is that correct?
I'm an Evangelical myself - so my critique must be read in that light. But a lot of Evangelical churches speak with a confrontational swagger a lot like this churches. You basically have to go either theologically liberal or post-modern Emergent to find a church that doesn't proclaim themselves to be "unashamed" or "unapologetic."
