Interracial Dating and the Christian Church
While a recent Gallup Poll on USA interracial dating found that over 95% of 18-29 year-olds approve of dating between the races, only 45% of the over 65 crowd agree. Less than a decade before, both of these age groups had significantly less approval for interracial dating. I guess we should have predicted these survey findings when even Bob Jones University lifted its interracial dating ban six years ago.
Singles generally only date those with whom they have had regular interaction. Although the Christian Church sadly remains a largely segregated place on Sundays, this is certainly less the case due to the proliferation of the multicultural megachurch within the last decade.
Overall, it will be interesting to see how the rise in multicultural megachurches effect interracial dating among Christian singles.

oh,,,, guys, you can not image what I have found. I just met my love, and interracial love of course. Am I lucky? So lucky I think, and I wanna share my happiness with all of you here.
Bye!! and good luck to you all.
I believe relationships should be based on attraction,genuineness,religious background and not the pigmentation of the skin.
Thanks
Amen and Amen!
God is equitable to anybody no matter the race, color or culture. Though our elders maybe are not easy to accept an interracial dating or marriage, nowadays youngers will interact with different races. Interracial is great in my view.
I think that we should find love where we can. The person I fall in love is only required to love God and be a good,respectful, honest person. As an African American Catholic Christian it is My opinion that racial discrimination and division are man-made concepts. God does not see color he judges our hearts and actions. I believe that we should all follow that example. After all we were all created by the same awesome God!
Tasha: Preach it, sister! I couldn’t agree more.

Its so amaizing in the internet dating, it had been so helpful to me. I’ve never been in love before because of many girls altitudes which led me to fear them, but now I am comfortable to talk to any one online. And hopeful I will find my true lover and my future wife. You can call me when-ever,from where-ever if you’re single below 23yrs old +255-712-380-382.Be blessed…Bye
I love white men not because i see things in view of race only because i’ve always been attracted to them and always will be but i am not a racist and God loves everyone just go with who you’re attracted to and you’re heart.
A friend of mine frequently asks me if I was ever attracted to a black man, or if I would ever date one. I am weirded out that he would even consider color a reason to date or not to date someone.
