Churches are just buildings where fellow people who share similar views meet. Often, the color of the attendance reflects the demographics of the neighboring area.

Here is a piece that shows the color shift of attendees when a church remained [[Hope Church on the Lodge across from the Southfield Town Center) but the neighborhood transitioned from white to black.

A church's makeup from black to white or white to black is neither intrinsically good nor bad. It just means the pews more proportionately reflect the makeup of the immediate neighborhood it is trying to serve.

So there's no need to lament a loss nor rejoice in a new pigmentation choice.


You might want to check your opinions before you post in the forum. Do some reseach on African Methodist Episcopalian Churches. That is s real black church.
