June 11, 2019What's the difference between black and white people's churches?After visiting some churches in South Africa, I have come to realize that there are differences between the way an African church conducts its church service from that of the white. In terms of time, The African church spends roughly about 2-3 hours, depending on the pastor's message while white church spends 1hr- 1hr.30 minutes.
