“11 o’clock Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of the week … And the Sunday school is still the most segregated school.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1963
It’s been over 45 years since King’s statement challenging Christians to think about diversity in our churches. This article in Time magazine, Religion and Race: Can Megachurches Bridge the Racial Divide? is a good read as we celebrate this rainy MLK Jr Day.

It’s interesting how so many other areas of society have been able to integrate and begin building communities with people of different races, ethnicities and cultures. But yet, why does that seem so hard in the church? It makes me sad.
