Reported in many places, but particularly well in USA Today: Kentucky church barrs interracial couples as members.
Apparently
The 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,” according to the copy supplied by Harville to the Herald-Leader.
Yeah, right.
Not that we should be too smug. Churches are particularly good at elevating all sorts of things above the gospel as a false display of unity. This example is particularly vile, though.
Big Circumstance 
What a gorgeous couple!

Yes, Pam, and they are the couple being excluded.

I think this poem speaks with a voice of affirmation rather than of struggle:
I too by Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes,
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
‘Eat in the kitchen,’
Then,
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed –
I, too, am America.
