I have envied the racial diversity on the West Coast in the churches. Here in my little world I think there is less than 10 black families in the county and we have one. The Latin community is growing but we have had no luck getting any of them to come. Have not found the key yet but I am looking.

Same church many years ago... different times and choir directors. I think one generally remembers and loves the songs of their youth.
Yeah. That's why my husband and I listen to the Oldies station. It's hard for people in church to understand having to give up all your memories in the name of 'holiness'.
Not fussy here. Maybe this is one of those psychological triggers that people keep telling me about.
Please read that I did not put Thad in the same category as others in leadership who actually believe that people do not matter, people are only the means by which I can accomplish what I set out to do...and most of the time so that I can receive the noteriety (notice I didn't say glory)...or the narcissistic belief that I am do everything so that I can give Glory to the Lord and not as a collective body.
There are people like this all over the place with saints stuck to the bottom of their shoe like a piece of gum.
Again, I am not being fussy or bitter, this is just the way things are sometimes...it is the same in business, sporting teams, etc. It is not exclusive to the church...but it happens there where the standard and expectation should be a little higher.
I actually had the same thought you did, but then I brushed it off.
