It's conceivable that the church could be streaming the music too loudly outside.
That could be an annoyance.
And,what exactly is an "african-american" church any way?
The real church doesn't make such distinctions.It's almost as if it's a pride issue.
How can one be proud over something for which they can take no "credit"?

What a needed word is this for today, when so much that passes for love, even in avowedly Christian circles, is nothing but a sickly sentimentality at the expense of the Truth. One of the outstanding cries in the religious world, is to this effect— "though we have differed in our beliefs and practices, let us now sink our differences and come together in love." A.W.
