USA: Presbyterian Church will repent for minority discrimination
The Presbyterian Church of America is considering a draft resolution on repentance for discrimination based on race, religion, skin color, nationality and other sins, reports Sedmitsa.Ru.
As reported, the "Prelude" to Repentance says about "segregation of parishioners by race, prohibition for blacks to join the Church and attend services, church protection of the organizations of white suprematists (professing the superiority of the white race), the sermons of segregation consecrated by the Bible and the struggle of the church against interracial marriages. The Presbyterian Church of America acknowledged that did not struggle enough with the manifestations of obscurantism and racial intolerance among the parishioners." The draft resolution requires the congregation to work intensely for racial reconciliation.
The portal reminds that the path to such reconciliation was chosen in 2002, when the Church recognized "its participation in the racial obscurantism", but only last year at the annual meeting after a heated 9-hour debate, the Church decided to repent.
