Congregation Segregation
Green, red, white, yellow, black, human. This Holy Week thing is making me wonder, are churches the most
segregated places on planet earth? I just realized that everytime I
want to go to church I have to find a church mass, communion and
religious worship service for my "Demonination" my nationality. For
what reason can't all churches welcome everyone regardless of your
race, color or creed. The one place where one goes to find God and be
free is not free, it's segregated by nationality and denominations.
It's either all Christian, all Protestant, all Jewish, all
Episcopalian, all Catholic, all Muslim, all Buddhist or all something
else.This Tower of Babel confusion of the languages, cultures and nations thing has got me confused.And
what if I want to go to church with someone who is not my nationality?
We'd have to look around really hard to find a church that would accept
both of our nationalities. I do believe there are some free, liberal,
multicultural and diverse churches who welcome everyone such as
Interfaith, Unitarian and Universalist churches who approach faith,
religion and spirituality in a non traditional, creedless and non
dogmatic way and have no creedal requirements imposed on their members.
Times Square Church in Manhattan is an example of this. But for the
most part, churches have always remained segregated.I am losing
faith in the churches for this reason, they seem Saint Hypocritical and
Saint Elitist in their God loves you for who you are speeches. Where
can I go to find God and not be judged by the color of my skin? Should
I just become an Atheist? Happy day after Easter.
