Differences Betweeand Black and White Christianity/Church Differences Between Black and White Christianity/Church Martin Luther King Jr. was once quoted to say, “Sunday is the most segregated day in America”. When I was thinking about this statement , I was disturbed to discover a truth that is very real. I will not pretend to know a lot about the religions of other cultures. All that I know comes from the text readings that we’ve had is class. My experiences in a formal church setting come only from services I’ve regularly attended at an ELCA Lutheran church and a Presbyterian church. Both congregations are made entirely of white families. In fact, I only saw one black person enter the doors of the Lutheran church (to witness a friend’s baptism) in 10 years of attendance, and never at the Presbyterian church. So when I talk about the white church, I have only those experiences to draw from. I’ve been to one “black church” in my life. During a Sunday School class in high school we organized a trip to a Baptist church a couple blocks away. When we got there, the pastor of the church greeted us warmly as we had called ahead of time to let him know we were going to white, church, black, churches, about, people, blacks, songs, music, between, time, services, new, know, ideas, different, differences, years, worship, sunday, style, one, often, idea, god, been, because, allowed, very, thus, through, though, stereotypes, southern, school, say
