CNN.com featured a great article about racial segregation in Christian churches yesterday. Here is an excerpt:

Some blacks as well as whites prefer segregated Sundays, religious scholars and members of interracial churches say.

Americans may be poised to nominate a black man to run for president, but it’s segregation as usual in U.S. churches, according to the scholars. Only about 5 percent of the nation’s churches are racially integrated, and half of them are in the process of becoming all-black or all-white, says Curtiss Paul DeYoung, co-author of “United by Faith,” a book that examines interracial churches in the United States.

The article contains some interesting and perhaps surprising examples and facets of race in Christianity. You can read the full article here.
