Stella Harville and her Zimbabwean fiance Ticha Chikuni have been told they can’t attend the church in her hometown of Pike County, Kentucky because she’s involved in an interracial relationship. According to a resolution from the church:
“That the Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church does not condone interracial marriage. Parties of such marriages will not be received as members, nor will they be used in worship services and other church functions, with the exception being funerals. All are welcome to our public worship services. This recommendation is not intended to judge the salvation of anyone, but is intended to promote greater unity among the church body and the community we serve.”
