I understand that people can have differing views of life and/or differing lifestyles but that doesn't mean they need "reconciliation". They simply need to get to know each other, which I imagine is what is actually going on within these church groups. To use the dramatic term "reconciliation" is pretentious and just plain silly, in my opinion. Growing friendships, on the other hand, is authentic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-45884599683054247892011-08-11T13:04:52.591-04:002011-08-11T13:04:52.591-04:00Excellent article!!

For those who don't think clarity & reconciliation are not needed, I strongly encourage you to step out of your comfort zone & spend time with people from another ethnicity. It will be an eye opener for sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-2800238324613816772011-08-11T08:39:29.885-04:002011-08-11T08:39:29.885-04:00"Blacks and whites prefer different styles of..."Blacks and whites prefer different styles of worship. Period" The anonymous poster is so misguided. I encourage all of you to check out Transformation Church (http://tc521.org) in Indian Land, SC. It's a multi-ethnic, multi-generational church and among one of the fastest growing churches in America! People of all ethnic, socio-economic backgrounds and all ages, worshiping and serving together. It does work! There's going to be a lot of people very confused when they get to heaven and are worshiping together. There's not going to be any segregation in heaven. Wake up people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-58175979100830803302011-08-10T23:03:24.472-04:002011-08-10T23:03:24.472-04:00I am a bit perplexed by the "working toward r...I am a bit perplexed by the "working toward racial reconciliation among women in Charlotte".

What a wonderful time we had talking and telling stories! Woodland was formed in part when former slaves (who were members at Paw Creek) started their own church after the Civil War. Many of Woodland's ancestors are buried in Paw Creek's cemetery. We have also celebrated Pentecost Sunday together for the past 3 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-8255648468817843982011-08-10T15:43:15.799-04:002011-08-10T15:43:15.799-04:00"Nearly 300 women from some of Charlotte'..."Nearly 300 women from some of Charlotte's most prominent black and white churches"......
