Some South Africans are rejecting Christianity because they can't identify with a white Jesus, and they don't want to worship the God of their foreign oppressor. That makes sense, but Jesus was Jewish and probably had tan skin and dark curly hair like any other person from the Middle East. Christianity's origins lie geographically closer to Africa than Europe. Also, the Orthodox Church is probably closer to early Christianity and Judaism than Catholicism and Protestantism are.

@thor Kinda stupid is who Jesus claimed to be is true. If He's the way, the truth, and the life then I don't care what skin color he is, I'ma follow.

Classic case of cut your nose off to spite your face.

@thor Yup.

Ethiopian Church is one of the oldest in the world.

So is the Syrian Church, as well as what now is Armenian Church.

Modern White Evangelical Church is as distanced to Christian origins as can be imagined.
