Discrimination
This graph (pictured) is the result of an assignment I completed for Fuller Theological Seminary some ten years ago. I happened on it this morning. It comes with the qualification that this was a very small sample: to discern whether churchgoers experienced racial discrimination. What does one see in this graph? Older Coloured churchgoers experienced fairly serious discrimination. A surprise was older Blacks, who reported the least discrimination. One White churchgoer experienced extreme discrimination. OBSERVATION: Take such statistics seriously! These are powerful feelings which ordinarily simmer, and are not obvious in ministry.
