We can cross great ethnic diversity in a church & get along, why can't we do it outside of the church?

this is a great question!! but the answer is simply that people are hypocrates and want to look good in church but in their hearts hold hate and god will hold them accountable for their evil and wicked ways. repent now or go to hell.

I agree with the first person's answer but I wanted to add that we do have a lot of hypocrites in the church. In church, some people act all holy, then when church is over...they follow the "world" again.

thats a good question...some people are just not open minded enough and are too ignorant to accept people of different ethnicities...in a church it is easier because hopefully if you truly believe in GOD and follow a religion (at least Christian denominations)...you are openminded to all races because you know they are all equal in GOD's eyes and that he loves all of us
