Oromo Evangelical Church in Columbus, Ohio

We enjoyed having guests today at UALC from Oromo Church (east side of Columbus) the fastest growing North American Lutheran Church (NALC) congregation. The congregation is in negotiation to purchase a church building so our church is helping from the mission fund.  It serves the Ethiopian refugee community, which has about 6,000 in Columbus, about half of which are Muslim. Their pastor was a bishop in his homeland with oversight of 600,000. I think I heard that Ethiopia has the largest Lutheran Church in the world. On fire for Jesus.

50 years ago I wondered why Christians didn't just worship together--i.e., in the style I knew--take in the immigrants--just one big family. But now that I know more history I recognize that most immigrants in the U.S. stayed together for worship as they learned the language, food and culture. The Methodists in Ohio used to have German speaking churches (Lakeside had special meetings in German), as did the Lutherans, and the Finns, Swedes and Norwegians had their Lutheran churches. In the 20th c. in Cleveland already established 19th c. Hungarian speaking congregations--Jewish, Roman Catholic, Reformed and Lutheran responded to the refugee crisis of 1956 as the Hungarians fled their communist oppressors, and many still have services in Hungarian. There are several Chinese and Korean congregations in Columbus, some rent sanctuaries in other churches, some are house churches, some are stand-alone and have services in both Mandarin and Cantonese. By maintaining their language and culture, they can be very effective missionaries in Asia where there are other diaspora Chinese communities. By the second or third generation, the non-English services sometimes are dropped, there are mergers, and new polities develop. But this is what I call real diversity, not the artificial, victim type; fitting in, yet staying together for the glory of God.

Western Kentucky University students propose reparations

These students at Western Kentucky University are misinformed. 

1.  Slavery has been a condition of the human race since recorded history. Everyone now living probably has slavery in her background if you go back far enough. 
2.  There is more slavery today than during the 18th c. cross Atlantic slave trade. 
3.  Freed American blacks also owned slaves as recorded in the 1830 U.S. census; Louis Gates reports 3,776 free Negroes owned 12,907 slaves, out of a total of 2,009,043 slaves owned in the entire United States. In some states a higher percentage of free blacks owned slaves than the white population. 
4.  More African immigrants have arrived voluntarily as free persons since 1990 than the number who once came as slaves. These immigrants have far higher employment and education levels than native-born blacks. 
5.  For over a decade the rate of college enrollment for black high school graduates has been higher than whites. 

How will the WKU victim collectors for the Democrat party sort all that out? Special quotas? Political party? Skin color? Wealth? That blacks are succeeding despite certain elected officials and political shenanigans is very upsetting to the left.  Need to try something new.

 "They acknowledged the move was largely symbolic."

Remember the huge dust-up when Ben Carson referred to black slaves as immigrants?  Well, it sort of disappeared when someone found out President Obama had made the same reference over 10 times in his speeches.
