Quote:A pastor at a multi-racial church in Charlotte, N.C., recently sparked a controversy among its congregation when she quietly issued a request to a group of volunteer greeters at the church that she wanted "only white people" greeting people at the front of the church as they come in for Sunday morning services.
Quote:Pastor Pennycooke reportedly reminded volunteers in the email that fall is one of the busiest times of year for the church and they needed to put their "best" forward. "We anticipate having an increase in the number of people visiting and attending Freedom House over the next few weeks," Pennycooke noted in the email while pointing out that "first impressions matter" and the church wants "the best of the best on the front doors."
While acknowledging that it was a sensitive issue, Pennycooke said, "we are continuing to work to bring our racial demographic pendulum back to mid-line….So we would like to ask that only white people be on the front doors."
"We would rather have less greeters on the front door if it means that the few that we have will represent us the best," Pastor Pennycooke wrote.
