that is ridiculous to have ANYONE pay to attend a church. to make the policy for whites i think is prejudice. if the tables were turned, we would be screaming racism all the way.
some one should ask the preacher if there is any scripture to indicate that JESUS asked anyone for a fee to listen to his sermons.

The minister is not making people pay to come, he is paying people to come to his church, as an incentive to increase the diversity of the membership. There's no cover charge at the door.
Personally, I can respect what the man is trying to do but I think he should find a more effective and acceptable way in which to do it. Bribing people to come to church is ridiculous. If he wants to increase the diversity of the church body, there are much better ways to do it. He could have the church members doing community service outside of their normal communities to target and serve other ethnicities. He could go to the local mall and hondout fliers and information on his church and their goals. The list is endless but handing out $5 bills during service is a little extreme. I wonder how the non-white members of the church feel about this.
