Throughout history, there have been times when the church shamefully was a source of prejudice, oppression, and injustice. Even at the very beginning of the early church, racial tensions threatened the movement of Jesus.  While the idea of diversity has become a fashionable conversation topic, and the diversity of our world is only increasing, people continue to recognize Sunday morning as “the most segregated hour” of the entire week.  While everyone tends to be most comfortable with people who are just like them, God calls us to diversify as we prepare for the beautiful color of His Kingdom!
