‘RACIST’ BAPTIST Church Bans African Man And Her White Partner Because They Got Married

Forbidden love ... Ticha Chikuni and fiance Stella Harville

A ZIMBABWEAN man has been banned from a church in the United States because he is BLACK.

Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church in Pike County, Kentucky, recently voted to ban interracial couples.

And when American national Stella Harville – who attended the church her whole life before moving to college – turned up with her fiancé, Ticha Chikuni, she felt “unwelcome”.
She has described the church’s ban on interracial marriages “the work of the devil”.

“Unfortunately, these convictions will remain in our society, but they crossed the line in revoking my fiancé and I’s right to worship in a public place,” Harville said.

“I think part of me is still in shock and trying to process what’s been going on the past few days. I really hope they overturn this.”

The vote by members last Sunday was 9-6. It was taken after the service, which about 35 to 40 people attended. Harville said many people left or declined to vote.
Harville, a 24-year-old graduate student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Indiana, called the vote “hurtful.”

Her dad, Dean Harville, is a deacon at the church.

He told how Melvin Thompson, a church member, crafted the resolution excluding black people from the church’s functions.

“If he’s not racist, what is this?” Harville said of Thompson.

Thompson, who stood down as a pastor in the church earlier this year, said he is not racist and called the matter an “internal affair.”

He added: “I am not racist. I will tell you that. I am not prejudiced against any race of people, have never in my lifetime spoke evil about a race. That’s what this is being portrayed as, but it is not.”
The Harville’s, who live in Pike County, say if the decision is not reversed, then they will move churches.

The church’s pastor, Stacy Stepp, said Wednesday that he was against the resolution. Stepp said the denomination’s regional conference will begin working on resolving the issue this weekend.

    How unfortunate!!Racism will always be with us until kingdom come. I have had an opportunity to live in India and China and I have felt the traumatizing effects of racism both blatant and implied.

    Racism is evil and unchristian. However, reading between the lines and the explanation given by the Pastor, I think this Church is not racist. If you dig this issue deeper, you might be able to agree with the position taken by the Church. It may be due to the challenges they have experienced with a few disoriented black people. However, if the Church is racist, its operating outside the precepts of the Bible. A true Bible believing Church should embrace everyone regardless of race, colour, Nationality, Culture, political affiliation etc. They should preach love & unity. Racism is old fashioned & evil. We should condem it at all costs.

    These are some of the issues that give me deep reflection about religion. I think religion is becoming less relevant in our lives. I am of the opnion Christianity was a religion created by white people for the purpose of money and control. In the bible everything good is WHITE while everything evil/bad is associated with DARK/BLACK. Black magic, black Friday, dark angel etc. Religion is bullshit!!!

    Sometimes we bring it upon ourselves. We have an inferiority complex. We still behave and act as if every white man is somehow superior to us. We have not cultivated a self-respecting identity. Look at our mentality; even here in Zambia, you have to wear a Western Suit & Jacket to be considered properly dressed by the President. So the whiteman takes a clue from us and treats us accordingly. This is especially true of the so called learned people. People who happen to have gone to school in europe or america. They can back and look down upon us and collaborate with whites and other races to mistreat and exploit us. Long live Malcolm X!!!

    A church cant do that,only a club can do,a church can’t because christianity is a relationship not a religion,the blood of Jesus does not represent any race but one family,pastor is heavenly name I will not use it but I will say the leader of the congregation are not born again and they deserve deliverance in the name of Jesus amen,my brother be strong that is your woman,people can fire u at work because of this,I know someone

    Mr Thompson really displayed his true racist colors. He shoul d never think of comin to Africa becoz he wont be @ peace seeing so many black people in one area. Mr Thompson must know that, Only God must, is and will alwez be the judge of all our actions. We should marry whoever we choose no matter what color or race.

    I’m not bothered a bit by this story. Most whites are worse than dogs. I feel sorry for this young couple whom I believe are in love and God fearing. I say most whites are worse than dogs because they can readily accept a homoxual couple than a mixed race straight couple. But not even dogs shag one of the same sex. No animal other than these crazy whites do that

    Its a very sad story.Most of these white forks are racist.Ask the zambians that are working for these white farmers and they will tell you.We have the same problem here in Zambia where these indians go out with zambian women but do not allow there daughters to get married to zambian men.I wish the govt could do some thing about this.

    I have first hand exprience with most white pasters and black members. Pastor joe matachella of old path bible baptist church in kitwe, said it openly that his daughter or son can not get married to a black person.he claims it is so written in the bible. True to his words all his children marry from america. Gentles and Jews idiology are so much in these white chaps. The love and unity, and yet they practise the opposite. My brother the bible tells racists and are all equal in the eyes of God.

    I don’t think the church is racist. did you know interracial marriages were banned in america prior to 1968? stop blaming whites and the church, the priest did nothing wrong. there are many religions and other cultures in the world that forbid interracial marriages. you know what’s sick about lots of black men? they’re constantly chasing white women, harrassing them, pressuring white women to date, they rape white women. most blacks in the u.s have a high rate of h.i.v virus and other std’s. who the **** wants them??!!! there are plenty of whites that prefer to marry/date other whites, there’s nothing wrong with that. stop pressuring other white women to date you! most of us whites prefer to stick with our own. **** off you ugly simian piece of shit!
