Frightened Black Family Flees Pomo Church

Published by Andre Daley at 8:28 am under diversity, emerging church, spiritual practice

While browsing over the Christianity/emerging church category over at wordpress.com I came across this "gem". Undecided Thanks to Fajita blog for the lead

No suits, no ties, no Sunday shoes. I told one of the ushers that he needed to show more respect in the Lord’s house. That this was a church, not the mall. Then he sassed me. Talked about how he wasn’t ‘at church, he is the church’. I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I must have mistaken that steeple on your head for a plastic mesh trucker cap, Cooter.’ Lord forgive me."

Despite their disclaimer I there is a real disconnect in terms of what some black and white folks consider to be church. I’ve seen it in our own church. So is this connecting with anyone in the African American community. Is there another path or should we all just chug the koolaid from one camp or the other?
