no axe to grind, just wondered why its important to you?

I just think churches ought to be racially mixed. One of the main points of Christianity is we're supposed to learn to get along together.
I tend to feel a bit "on the spot" when I'm the only white person in a black church. It's more relaxing if there are other whites as well as people of other races there. A church of all white people seems not right to me - missing an important call of the church to reconciliation.
Also my husband is black. I want a church where we can both feel at home.

Thank you for your reply,MaryR, just had a quick look at the Church my brother goes to in Durban, it seems to be pretty mixed, I would assume that as group areas was abolished in 1993 any suburb is likely to have churches that are mixed...obviously depending on the demographics of the area.
