Ethnic bias found in Church's Statement of Faith

I was looking at an out-of-state Church's Statement of Faith and was shocked to learn that my ethnicity doesn't fit within the confines of Christianity.

Of all the possible ethnic groups, I would have certainly chosen others to exclude; like the French, the Irish, or those from the 51st State -Canada.


Read it for yourself and see if you can spot the error.

WHAT DO YOU TEACH?

The Bible is our creed. Therefore, any effort to define the basis of our teaching necessitates emphasis on the whole Word of God as the sole source of our beliefs. Furthermore, it seems unwise to adhere to the labels of much of Christendom, whether it's Fundamentalism, Pentecostal, Calvinism, Armenianism, Charismatic, Dispensational, Reformed, etc. It is unrealistic to think that any individual man-made system of beliefs is completely error free or, conversely, without merit at all. It is therefore our sincere desire to simply teach the Bible true to its original languages and respectful of its historical context, the context of each passage, and the accepted and normal use of language (i.e. being able to discern the difference between a parable and a proverb, a prophecy and an historical account, etc.). We trust that this will enable us to understand the intended meaning and truth that is to be found in God’s inspired Word.
