The whole nation has had eyes on Mississippi - particularly
on the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs. Recently the pastor was pressured by a few influential members of the church not to
conduct wedding services for an African-American man and woman even though
they had been attending the predominantly white congregation
for some time.
In an effort to keep the peace - the pastor and the to-be
married couple- moved to a church down the street for the ceremony. Most of the members of the church were outraged that a few had
shamed the many and spoke out. Unfortunately the damage had been done.
However...while
people in many parts of the nation will always believe the worst about Mississippi and will
use this as an example that we are still living in the days of Jim Crow as portrayed in movies like "Mississippi Burning"....there is
another narrative at play here. Scores
of white people demonstrated along side black people protesting this intolerance. The church made a
public apology to the couple and their families. There is plenty of
evidence that this has been a teachable experience and that the vast majority of Mississippi has truly changed. While the few members who caused this
unfortunate controversy have not had the courage or character to
come forth and take responsibility. There is one to whom they will
have to answer. Hopefully now the healing can truly begin and communication
will be more honest and fruitful than ever before.
