I've always found it fascinating that Churches are the one place where racial segregation is still so prevalent.  It's almost a corollary of the 'if God is male, males are God' idea of Mary Daly's. ONly this one is if  'god is white, then whites must be god's chosen' or if god is black then blacks must be god's chosen, or if god is.....then ......must be god's chosen.   

It might just be that humanity really needs to reconceptualize their idea of God before the 'othering' ever stops.
