Churchgoers: what systemic wrongdoing have you noticed within your church environment?

Asked by Simone_De_Beauvoir (39052points) June 10th, 2011

I read an interesting article regarding widespread sexism and violence as well as sexually inappropriate behavior within the Black Church (whatever the author believes that to be). I know that the Catholic Church has too been accused of much of the same. I do want to know, however, what actual churchgoers feel about what’s going on within their communities. Are there things being swept under the rug, stories you keep hearing, etc? Do you feel, as I read many others do, as if you are unable to discuss these issues because that will be ‘airing dirty laundry’ to a society that you find is unwelcome of your beliefs?
