[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8529705, member: 6779310"] Many of Anchorage's Black/African-American families are Catholic, as well. it's probably the largest chunk of any given denomination. More than half the blacks I've met in Anchorage were Catholics. (My dad was the Cathedral's Deacon for 20 years... then moved to the bigger St. Andrews because Mom asked the bishop to post him closer to home. So there's a bias in my experience. I know that Cathedral had about 5% black parishioners - about 40 families of the 800. The state only has 3.8% black in 2010; it was less in the 80's.) At least in Anchorage, there's a good strong "keep the faith by keeping with the faithful" aspect to much of the Black community, be they Catholic or other. And, prior to Vatican 2, for Catholics, it was forbidden by Canon Law to associat with non-Catholics outside of work and school. How much that was enforced? I don't know - I'm not THAT old. But I've heard that it was not terribly well observed by the mid 1950's in most places. The growth has been largely immigrants from two nations - Ethiopia and Nigeria. The Ethiopians are a mix of Muslims, Ge'ez Catholics, Roman Catholics, and Tehwado Orthodox. The Nigerians are either Muslim or Roman Catholic. All of whom are culturally introspective, avoiding bonds outside the communities as part of religious faith praxis. [/QUOTE]
