Anybody know of any churches in the Lawndale area where I wouldn't be the only white guy? Preferably a nice Protestant church, nothing Catholic or Baptist.

I'd like to start meeting some of my neighbors. Any other ideas for me to branch out a bit and start being involved in the community? I've gotten a little tired of being a hermit here.

Try NewLife Presbyterian at Roosevelt Blvd and D Street. You certainly won't be the only white guy, but you'll be introduced to a number of people from various backgrounds, reflecting the richness of God's design.

Another choice is Spirit and Truth Fellowship at 6th & Cayuga.

Wish you the best.

Are you on a mission from God ? The one at D + Roos. Blvd. is perfect for that.

Hmm... I was thinking along the lines of a liberal-minded Protestant church. Not one that's a John Calvin or Martin Luther faction. Not Orthodox or Catholic. I don't have anything against those people or their beliefs its just not for me.

St. John's Luthern Church
3100 Tyspon Ave.

Try going north.

It's as white as the fallen snow the further up you go.



"Northeast Philadelphia ("the Northeast") is a section of the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the 2000 Census, the Northeast has a sizable percentage of the city's 1.5 million people — a population of between 300,000 and 450,000, depending on how the area is defined. Beginning in the 1980's, many of the Northeast's middle class children graduated college and settled in suburbs, especially nearby Bucks County. With this emigration of older populations, a new influx of Latinos have settled along the southern edges of the Northeast, while African Americans and Asian immigrants have purchased homes in this once almost exclusively white area of the city. The neighborhoods that make up Northeast Philadelphia include Fox Chase, Lawncrest, Rhawnhurst, Tacony, Frankford, Mayfair, Bustleton, Torresdale, Parkwood, Somerton, Burholme, Ryers, Holmesburg, and Crestmont Farms. It is sometimes said to include the neighborhoods of Bridesburg, Port Richmond, and Fishtown, as well."

That's worse than me being the only white guy. I need some diversity.
