Southern Baptists beat Southern Masons in accepting African-Americans as equals

Only 52 years after the landmark 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision regarding desegregation, the Southern Baptist Convention, an organization built upon the teachings of Christ's love for everyone, yesterday during its 2006 annual meeting in Greensboro, N.C. announced that task forces have been formed to study ways to reach out to the African-American community, and one day soon will issue a report.

One wonders how many more years it will be before that other bastion of segregation, Southern Freemasonry, will get around to thinking about forming a task force to study the possibility of discussing the elimination of the color barrier in Masonry, an organization built upon the ideals of universal brotherhood.
