Will Christian communities ever work together?

Why are Christians so divided?

Have you ever wondered why Christians spend so much time and effort talking about difference?

Why do we spend more effort at arguing about our difference than working together?

What is your opinion regarding the sometimes petty things Christians fight about?

We spend hundreds of hours on our different points of view but less than a minute on the suffering and pain that the world presents each day. Should we continue this way? How can we change?

The African American church has always been a open and welcoming sacred space

We thank God for the ability to grow in our understanding of this journey toward multicultural community.
Please do not think it is the black churches first effort at understanding between the races. The African American Church a powerful history
regarding the issues of multicultural Christian community and we have been part of the history of the creation and growth of said communities. The first churches were open to all who wanted to serve God. It was the infamous legacy of Racism in America that instigated the divisions we see today.
