What can sometimes pass for Christianity is stunning.
Twelve-year-old Joe recently asked Jesus to live in his heart.Yet the church where Joe accepted his Savior not even two weeks before will no longer allow the biracial boy to enter.On Aug. 6, during its scheduled Sunday night business meeting, Fellowship Baptist Church in Saltillo voted not to accept blacks within the church. More specifically, the congregation also voted Joe out and said he could not return.
To his credit, the pastor of the church, the Rev. John Stevens, resigned due to the decision of church members.
A very sad introduction for a twelve-year-old boy into the Christian community. I hope some other local church steps up immediately and takes in this young man- showing him the true spirit of the faith.
