3. I believe that the problem

of church culture can be overcome by having unity church services together

with a willingness to allow each church to express its worship style.

You may be surprised at what you are missing by not singing hymns or by

not using a guitar or by not reading creeds.

I love the African American

church and the way we, in general, do things in the church, but I don't

want to miss out on what the Lord is doing in the Body of Christ as a

whole. It is His will that we come together more and learn more about

each other.

Please do not try to change

your culture, that is who God made you; just don't make culture or denomination

or race more important than Christ and His church.

We can do this without compromising

what we believe to be true about Christ. However, the "Sacred Cows"

must be slain for the sake of unity. Can you hear them "mooing"

in the background? I can hear mine.
