Pike church takes stand against interracial couples | Faith & Values | Kentucky.com

A small Pike County church has voted not to accept interracial couples as members or let them take part in some worship activities.
The decision has caused sharp reaction and disapproval in the Eastern Kentucky county.
"It's not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form," Randy Johnson, president of the Pike County Ministerial Association, said of the vote.

Time for me to sing "Thank God I'm a Northerner."

No blacks in heaven for those folks I suppose?
What happens when they find out Jesus is an arabic person?

People from other parts of the country just shrug off my comments of religious opression in reverse in the bible belt....

Is this about people being rejected because of their race?

No. It is about embracing rejection.

Silly! Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. They're just not supposed to mix!

Not at all. It's about people being rejected for marrying outside their race. Big difference.

[BDBoop]

Ohh the intensity varies thruout the region, but is there.

Well, in her defense my statement would imply there is no racism in the north which anybody knows is a falsehood.

So why ever in god's name would an interracial couple want to join such a community?

 

[Lonestar_logic]

Who cares? You don't like it? Don't go to that church!


People need to learn how to mind their own business.

This is totally within their right and may I add there is no law that can be passed to make them perform interracial marriages.

Be cool if a black and Hispanic married gay guys showed up wanting to join their church.

Racists always say to mind your own business.
