When I was in college in the early 70's, a local SBC church that was building a large contingent of college students declined to initially admit a freshman student of Native American heritage because the church did not have a policy one way or another about admitting non-whites. This happened on the first Sunday of the school year when all of the students had come forward to move their letters. The next Sunday only two of the students returned. The rest moved to other churches. I never heard what the church decided to do about admitting non-whites. They had missed their chance.

Back in those days, when churches all over the landscape were voting on whether to accept people of other races (usually white churches voting on whether to accept black people), one pastor I know of proclaimed that his church would not be voting, because such a vote would be illegitimate. His argument was that the Bible set no such criteria and that therefore no church should even vote on this matter, for of course all people were welcomed into the church, assuming, of course, that their faith stance was right. Good thinking!
