Q: “So what do you do in your spare time?”

A: "Church"




The question of whether or not the church is to blame for so many black women being single has been raised before. I’m not re-inventing the wheel here, just adding my own commentary.

I was talking to someone at church last night while we were both serving. She got to rattlin’ off all the ministries she was a part of and how she had to be here, here, and there on this day, that day, and this other day. As I listened, I couldn’t help but think to myself…”GAW what else does she have time for?” She’s an attractive women, accomplished in her career, but no ring on that finger. So aside from all of the other things it could be that keep her single…could her eagerness to be involved in every ministry. I mean, if you spend 6 of your 7 nights at church when do you get out to explore the world , meet people, have quiet time, ANYTHING?!

So what do you think? (in this context) Could the church be keeping black women single?
