Kentucky church doesn't allow interracial marriage

Kentucky Church Racism
Small church in Kentucky gets big attention! Melvin Thompson, previous pastor, had a poll at the church asking if interracial marriage should be permitted. Members of the church voted 9-6 on the conversational debate, which means the church would not allow interracial marriage. This turned into a big conflict when Stella Harville, engaged to Ticha Chikuni, from South Africa, attempted to get married at Stella's church, "Gulnare Free Will Baptist Church". This caused a dilemma, therefor president of the Pike County Ministerial Association got involved and says, "It's not the spirit of the community in any way, shape or form,".  Therefor, a new pastor of the name  Stacy Stepp took over and will ask members to reconsider the decision, perhaps as early as Sunday.


What do you think about banning interracial marriage? Comment below.
