William, the problem isn't really equality but injustice.  It isn't right that in the same conference black churches get less resources than white churches of the same size.  My church had a weekend retreat in which we talked about forgiveness and one of those aspects of forgiveness given in scripture is restitution.  Until there the injustice ends and people recognize that they aren't treating people impartially then these discussions are going to continue.  That is what will tear down walls.  Sending love in Christ.
