Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller and companion book to the PBS series. “Absolutely brilliant . . . A necessary and moving work.” —Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., author of Begin Again “Engaging. . . . In Gates’s telling, the Black church shines bright even as the nation itself moves uncertainly through the gloaming, seeking justice on earth—as it is in heaven.” —Jon Meacham, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of Stony the Road and The Black Box, and one of our most important voices on the African American experience, comes a powerful new history of the Black church as a foundation of Black life and a driving force in the larger freedom struggle in America. For the young Henry Louis Gates, Jr., growing up in a small, residentially segregated West Virginia town, the church was a center of gravity—an intimate place where voices rose up in song and neighbors gathered to celebrate life's blessings and offer comfort amid its trials and tribulations. In this tender and expansive reckoning with the meaning of the Black Church in America, Gates takes us on a journey spanning more than five centuries, from the intersection of Christianity and the transatlantic slave trade to today’s political landscape. At road’s end, and after Gates’s distinctive meditation on the churches of his childhood, we emerge with a new understanding of the importance of African American religion to the larger national narrative—as a center of resistance to slavery and white supremacy, as a magnet for political mobilization, as an incubator of musical and oratorical talent that would transform the culture, and as a crucible for working through the Black community’s most critical personal and social issues. In a country that has historically afforded its citizens from the African diaspora tragically few safe spaces, the Black Church has always been more than a sanctuary. This fact was never lost on white supremacists: from the earliest days of slavery, when enslaved people were allowed to worship at all, their meetinghouses were subject to surveillance and destruction. Long after slavery’s formal eradication, church burnings and bombings by anti-Black racists continued, a hallmark of the violent effort to suppress the African American struggle for equality. The past often isn’t even past—Dylann Roof committed his slaughter in the Mother Emanuel AME Church 193 years after it was first burned down by white citizens of Charleston, South Carolina, following a thwarted slave rebellion. But as Gates brilliantly shows, the Black church has never been only one thing. Its story lies at the heart of the Black political struggle, and it has produced many of the Black community’s most notable leaders. At the same time, some churches and denominations have eschewed political engagement and exemplified practices of exclusion and intolerance that have caused polarization and pain. Those tensions remain today, as a rising generation demands freedom and dignity for all within and beyond their communities, regardless of race, sex, or gender. Still, as a source of faith and refuge, spiritual sustenance and struggle against society’s darkest forces, the Black Church has been central, as this enthralling history makes vividly clear.

Download or read book We Hung Our Harps written by Bishop Raymond Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? (Psalms 137:1-2)Dr. King rightly asserted that the Church is arguably the most segregated institution in America; and that the Sunday "Church Hour" is the most segregated hour of the week. Our purpose in embarking upon the undertaking, before you, is to arrive at a fundamental understanding of how this came to be. The Black church is the core of the story, in We Hung Out Harps; but it is a core story set against the landscape of an emerging nation at odds with itself about the perceived "Negro problem;" and how in the midst of that the Black man got religion and made spiritual sense of his situation.This book has two sections. The first section gives an overview of the emergent Black chnrch; from the first Black churches of the eighteenth century. Through the separation and segregation of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It examines the beginnings of three Black traditions, the Baptists, the Methodists, and the Pentecostals; with a view to how each of these traditions transitioned from their beginnings to where they are, today.The second section examines four social constructs trough which Black churches have had and continue to have an impact on society: higher education; women in the church; the church and homosexuality; and the church as community, which focuses on the Black church's response to some of the social issues in American society, today.Our objective is to lend perspective to the question of why the stratification of the Black church, in America - as opposed to any other American churches - persists, today; when there has been integration across other American social institutions. Possible a second question to ponder would be whether there is any likelihood that this so-called Black church will ever cease to exist -whether it is likely that, at some future point in time that entity will assimilate into the larger church I some way. For that matter, does it matter? Needless to say, the term Black church or African-American church refers to Christian churches that minister to predominantly African-American congregations in the United States. While some black churches, such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), were founded by African-Americans, many other black churches emerged either from or alongside predominantly white denominations, such as the United Church of Christ and - of course - the Baptist and Methodist Churches.The trajectory of this discourse will, necessarily, take us all the way back to a time before the arrival of the first Africans to America; or, at least to a point in time not long after they got here. As it turns out, in just a year, from now, it will be four-hundred years, since those first Negroes arrived in America, at Jamestown settlement.So, then, the Black church exists, not as a cause for racial separation; but, because a Black community exists - with all the characteristics of an indigenous community. We are the product of our history, in America, to be sure; but we are also the product of our history. We are not a monolithic community; but, the "African Collective Unconscious" I reference in other places, in this book, results in what seems to be a common persona, so that Black churches have similar characteristics, no matter where we are in the world.
Book Synopsis New World A-Coming by : Judith Weisenfeld
Download or read book New World A-Coming written by Judith Weisenfeld and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Joseph Nathaniel Beckles registered for the draft in the 1942, he rejected the racial categories presented to him and persuaded the registrar to cross out the check mark she had placed next to Negro and substitute "Ethiopian Hebrew." "God did not make us Negroes," declared religious leaders in black communities of the early twentieth-century urban North. They insisted that so-called Negroes are, in reality, Ethiopian Hebrews, Asiatic Muslims, or raceless children of God. Rejecting conventional American racial classification, many black southern migrants and immigrants from the Caribbean embraced these alternative visions of black history, racial identity, and collective future, thereby reshaping the black religious and racial landscape. Focusing on the Moorish Science Temple, the Nation of Islam, Father Divine's Peace Mission Movement, and a number of congregations of Ethiopian Hebrews, Judith Weisenfeld argues that the appeal of these groups lay not only in the new religious opportunities membership provided, but also in the novel ways they formulated a religio-racial identity. Arguing that members of these groups understood their religious and racial identities as divinely-ordained and inseparable, the book examines how this sense of self shaped their conceptions of their bodies, families, religious and social communities, space and place, and political sensibilities. Weisenfeld draws on extensive archival research and incorporates a rich array of sources to highlight the experiences of average members."--Publisher's description.
