“Call and Response: Liberation Theology, Resist

“Call and Response: Liberation Theology, Resistance and the Black Church”
Time: 7:00- 8:30 p.m. (EST)
Date: Thursday, February 9, 2023
Description:
Black theology, or black liberation theology, refers to a theological perspective which originated among African-American seminarians and scholars, and in some black churches in the United States and later in other parts of the world. It contextualizes Christianity in an attempt to help those of African descent overcome oppression. It especially focuses on the injustices committed against African Americans and black South Africans during American segregation and apartheid.

A lecture (The call) followed by a virtual roundtable discussion (The response) providing commentary and critical analysis. Q & A from audience is also part of the response. “The Close or benediction will conclude the formal part of session, followed by musical renditions. Participants will include Dr. John Kinney, Virginia Union University, Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology; Yolanda Pierce, Howard University; Dr. Terrence L. Johnson; Julia Robinson Moore, UNC Charlotte Department of Religious Studies; Rev. Earle J. Fisher, Abyssinian Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee; Michelle Evans-Oliver, President, Richmond Branch of ASALH.
