Martin Luther King Jr. once said 11 a.m. Sunday is the most segregated hour in America. Now, years after King's murder, only 7 percent of America's churches are considered racially mixed.
We’ve heard this observation for years…WHY is Sunday Morning the most segregated day of the week? I’d like to extend the observation and mention that not only is it the most segregated day of the week, but it’s one of the most divided concepts among a people that should be the most progressively united… With diversity being an initiative in the workplace, in politics, in media and entertainment, how does the church being segregated translate unification in our society? What does this say about the church claiming One God, One Faith, and One Baptism? Why we are STILL Not United as One
Loneliest day
After all, Sunday is supposed to be a family day, a day of joy.
Though I loved Jesus, I still often felt very alone, surrounded on all sides by other couples and families. Sunday is supposed to be a family day, but I felt like the only person who didn’t have one.
I knew I would get married someday, but at the time, I wasn’t married, wasn’t engaged, and wasn’t even dating anyone. It was just me, and I felt the weight of that.
