i am glad that I have read back through the comments because I was confused
I know my dear friend is not racist ....it was a mistake and all is well. Still that woman was a bit off; putting you into an awkward situation with a question about other Church members.

Re: Jimmy A
I should add further that I should have used a different letter than "N." I did foresee your confusion.

That was quite the loaded question she asked.

Personally, I think I'd be more worried about this person's casual use of the "N-word" than I would over someone taking over my church . . .

Sorry if I sounded sharp at my last comment. I very much dislike pockets of gossipers where worshipping is the ideal. In such cases, I have learned to turn the awkwardness back to the person who asked the question by asking, "Why did you want to know that?" or "Why are you telling me that." If you are consistant with that, people will stop coming to you with gossip.

Re: N_____?
N_______'s are a family that have largely filled a vacuum in much of the church's ministry, e.g. music, Bible study teaching, etc.

Are you talking here about a family with the last name of, say, Nugent or Norton...or a committee of some sort...or the Nativity choir for the next holiday season? I think you have more problem here than you have any idea of.
