From the article: "In a post on its website, the congregation said it will replace “music or liturgy written or composed by white people” with music from other minority groups.
“For Lent this year, First United is doing a mix of ‘giving something up’ and ‘taking something on.’ In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people,” the statement said.
“Our music will be drawn from the African American spirituals tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more,” it added.
Turning Point USA reported the church also erected a sign that said it would be specifically “fasting from whiteness” throughout the season meant to honor Jesus Christ’s walk through the desert for 40 days and 40 nights.
“This Lent, we build our worship life around the voices of black people, indigenous people, and people of color,” the sign read."
Wow, can you imagine the outrage if a Church announced that they wouldn't be using any music written by black people?...
Do you ever notice that it always seems to be people in very Democratic areas that say things like this?
