As far as voting choices go, mine wasn't listed. I would have voted "not relevant" rather than opposed OR "for".

I sure hope that was made in jest as most of the Church will not be pale white but people of all races, creeds, & colours.

If you can't worship with them now, you will be miserable spending eternity with them!

As far as I know, I've never attended an Assembly where the Leadership outright condemned or refused to perform interracial marriages.

Most are concerned about being equally yoked. This is most important and has very little (if anything) to do with race.

Will a mixed marriage send a person to hell. No, not from what I read.
Do we have any in our church. Not at this time. Have in the past.
Were they treated different. No.
Do all have souls and need to be saved no matter skin color. Yes.

Many use 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

I think unequally yoke could come into play with there being diferent cultures involved. In a mixed marriage both need to understand the culture of the other and be willing to part of it as long as it does not go against the teaching of God. How will other family members feel toward them?
