And on my birthday no less. Thanks to "info@mosaicchurch.net" for listing the authors of the new book. I don't mind mentioning them, but I didn't think it was necessary in a non-academic blog post to cite author and page number for a quote that I found posted elsewhere on the internet for a book that hasn't yet been released and so I can't comment on the quality of the book or authors. I do look forward to acquiring the book and interacting with it. Any chance mosaicchurch could send a copy my way? I'll certainly give you lots of citations and good publicity that way.Dave Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457224762159921781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905979743055199217.post-15778546154658717662010-03-30T11:17:18.808-07:002010-03-30T11:17:18.808-07:00I think you make a very good point. I wouldn'...I think you make a very good point. I wouldn't say that it is always purposeful on the part of the church leadership to be segregated, though. Often, people like to worship in a style that is culturally oriented. For example, a typical African American church worship service is very different from that of a church that is primarily white.<br /><br />From musical styles, to preaching styles, to how the offering is taken, different cultures do things differently. People are naturally drawn to what they are used to.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156736279906719942noreply@blogger.com
