Is there room for racism in the Church?

I would like to start off by saying that I know precious little about Clarence Jordan. I found his "Cotton Patch" translation of the New Testament at my university library about 8 years ago, and the book made a definite impression on me. I don't know if Rev. Jordan would be happy with my understanding of his work, but I love it, and am happy to own a copy, and am happy to share with you the thoughts inspired in me by this amazing work.
