Upon the merger about a few weeks ago, the pastor from the other church that just merged with us. uttered the words "this is a white neighborhood" words spoken towards the youth group and leader which were mostly Asians. He asked them not to perform and preach, which was once a month as it was before the merger and upon the agreement of the merger. He as one person and not of the whole church decided that it was best to just reach only the white community instead of all the people in general. He didn't care whether he loses some of the youth or to loses the youth group as a whole. Upon hearing that I was greatly distressed and said that he was not fit to be a pastor if he sees colors in Christianity and the fact that he didn't care if any children of GOD were to leave the church or not. I also said that he was working against GODs will by willingly forcing the youth group to withdraw from their activities and the church as a whole. I'm kinda confused in how I should associate to him. I know the teachings, turn the other cheek, love thy enemy. It's hard to do when he is a pastor, a foundation of the church. I don't know if I can accept him teaching the words of GOD. Could you enlighten me in your opinion as GODs children upon this matter. Would like to know how you would think in this situation.

I think it best to hold a board meeting, not in front of the members. You and the member have to come up with an agenda with good questions and with good intention knowing it won't hurt him in any means as brother and sister in Christ. We do know that he is a leader and God's servant, but...View More

I missed the first meeting. As for the youth group and ministers that were at that meeting. Said that It was forced upon them at the time, no room for discussion. It was a mind set of the new pastor, apparently the pastor from our church was there as well and he did not utter a word when th...View More
