Charlotte Steele Creek Presbyterian Church has racial equality symbol, but hosts the Sons of Confederate Veterans

I guess this example shows how churches just like to say things about racial equality to feel good about themselves, but don't give it any significant reflection.

The Steele Creek Presbyterian Church has on its web page a symbol of racial equality. You can see it at their web page:

However, check their calendar:

What do we see, a monthly meeting of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV).

What we see is that for many churches anti-racism is a moral ornament for certain Christians to feel good about themselves as opposed to those racist others who they imagine are very unlike themselves.
