Hi Readers
I'd like to share several stories I have about real life encounters or incidences where I found churches are houses to racist missionaries. However, here I would share a few only to explain the extent to which racism is the key to holding the church leadership in place.
1) A missionary to Thai- I met her at a Baptist church, not in GTA, but up north, where she grew up. She presented herself as a highly God centered person. I talked to her about her missions and also about her goals. While I was talking, my aim was to see if she really loves God and would stand for Godly ways. As an advanced Pentecostal; I believe if a Baptist or any real Christian is given a chance to be exposed to spiritual growth concept and wisdom, that person would or should be motivated to do the right thing or basically choose a life partner based on quality faith, walk and morals than lust and racism. Although, I am aware that it's rare to find real Christian girl, I thought may be she is a real Christian girl, but I was wrong. Her problem was same as most other missionaries and church goers, lust based on appearance and racism. I presented the fact of her young adult's pastor's brother preaching lust openly among young guys in the study and she refused to ever talk again.
2) Clear form of racism by missionary to India- I also met another missionary from the same congregation. Funny part is that even her forefathers were missionaries to India but I would assume that they were racist also. Same thing, I tried being friendly with her and she showed her true colors by firstly ignoring and then I didnt care to talk more as she was obviously being racist. She was aware of my level of understanding of Bible but she refused to follow Biblical criteria also, owing to her racist brought up.
3) I could go on and on, but this is not something that would make someone happy to share. It is sad that such cheap social evil exists in modern lands from where so many people pretend to be missionaries but they are still racist. I know a young Bible grad who wouldn't even allow me to talk friendly to her gf just because he was paranoid that she would be impressed and his salary and lust racism based benefits (dating/marriage is influenced by racism) would be affected.
Still there is no church in the whole world that can do something about such open racism in modern developed parts of the world. Guess, I am just in the same boat as First Nations and Plantation workers; trying to find equality in churches, just that my love for God doesn't make me leave church or Christianity or I would have left already because of missionaries.
