Here is a hypothetical question for any and all people to answer.
Imagine that you help shepherd a fellowship or "church." God the Spirit has made your fellowship spiritually alive enough to attract black and white attendees alike. However, the black attendees have a persistent habit of segregating themselves from the white attendees. Moreover, some of the black attendees start displaying certain common aspects of "black attitude," which offends many white attendees and creates certain non-verbal hostilities. Yet, despite this, the said black attendees keep attending your fellowship because God the Spirit is working through you.
You pray about this issue, but Christ Jesus forces you to act without an answer.
How would you deal with the said "wall" of hostility?
