"The most segregated hour in America, depending on the time zone, is 11 o'clock Sunday morning."

-- Bishop Fred Caldwell, of the Greenwood Acres Full Gospel Baptist Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.  For the month of August Bishop Caldwell will pay white people $5 to attend church with the almost exclusively black congregation. 


"I'm only paying for white folks in August. We'll probably move on to other ethnic groups from there."

-- Bishop Fred Caldwell, on future plans to diversify his congregation.
