Some or all of these churches allow and condone the racial prejudice that has divided the city of ShawanoFor over 30 years, the churches of Shawano have refrained from addressing the racial prejudice that has divided the city and crippled its economy. It's a pure shame to have to write a page like this, especially for a city in the United States in the twenty-first century, and for our own home town at that. The present situation puts us in mind of the darker pages of not only world history but also American history, what with the Menominee Indian Reservation but a few miles away... All the names, addresses and phone numbers are listed below. We invite you to call these churches and ask them about their stand on racial prejudice in Shawano. Nobody will want to admit that they are racists, of course. Their comfort with your call will tell you what you need to know. Assembly of God First Apostolic UPC Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Sacred Heart Catholic Community Baptist Jehovah's Witnesses Divine Savior Evangelical Lutheran First Presbyterian Seventh Day Adventist Shawano Christian Center Spoken Word Church St. Jakobi Lutheran (Town of Richmond) St. James Lutheran St. John Episcopal St. John's Lutheran-Hermansfort St. John's Lutheran St. Martin Lutheran St. Paul's Lutheran-Stony Hill United Methodist Zion Lutheran
