What about the virtual slaves in the USA today- the illegal immigrants? Do Christians have a united stand on that? Or do we allow it because the economy needs them... the same argument for the old slavery system. By the way, there were also white slaves back in the day.

John,
By the same sort of reasoning the opposite position (abolition of slavery)
was part of Christianity. Many preachers preached against slavery, and
William Wilberforce was motivated by his Christian conscience to fight for
abolition of slavery in the British Empire.
What church creeds have you seen that assign secondary status to
nonwhites?
