So then, maybe there is a "Black" church. Consider the fact of the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Baptist Convention. Consider the African Methodist Episcopal Church(AME). Consider the C.M.E. Church and perhaps the COGIC Church. Consider any church that is in the hub of a black neighborhood, peopled by black parishoners. For want of a better descriptive word, lets say, the Black Church. We simply, as a matter of practice, do not attend the "White Church". They are not as much of a factor in our family's lives. Their cultural methods of worship, as a rule, are different from ours, sometimes greatly different. Their members do not have the same experiences, problems, etc as blacks in America. Their agendas might not match ours. Then considering that, is the Black church dead? Has the Black church lost its relevance in the black neighborhood, or in the black population? Is it dead and buried? To answer that question, one must not consider the "White Church" in the in the decision. If the answer is yes, should we move toward more integration with "White Churches"? If not, how should we resolve the situation? Here's my comment. You can't resolve it. If you pray and work real hard, you can make a change in your church and your community. The rest is in God's hands.
