We could attend church together; make faith-based references in casual conversation; and Sorors would (in what could be perceived as crossing the line) apply aspects of religion to Delta chapter/committee meetings. That happens in many BGLO chapters across the country and is also one component of Black American culture (and the culture of other groups) across the country. Well, yesterday we were hanging out and attending different events. Throughout the day I asked myself "what if I was a Delta who isn't Christian or one of many people of the African diaspora who isn't Christian...would I feel left out by this?" It also reminded me of my Jewish family members' facial expressions when we always prayed in the name of Jesus when I was younger. |
We just had this conversation at our chapter meeting today. Except on the opposite side, those of us that are devout Christians outnumbered by non devouts. When the issue was brought up it was immediately recognized.
