(AP) _ Hampton University will open a ``marriage summit'' Tuesday, bringing together religious leaders, psychologists, public health workers and other experts to discuss the state of marriage and talk about how to reverse trends such as high divorce rates and out-of-wedlock births. ``We'll discuss the current crisis of marriage and parenting and focus on solutions, and how we can come together to start moving things in a better, more positive direction for families,'' said event coordinator Linda Malone-Colon, head of Hampton's psychology department. The conference also will mark the launch of the school's National Center on African-American Marriages and Parenting. Led by Malone-Colon, the center at the historically black university in Hampton, Va., will conduct research and collect data about issues that affect black marriages and families, and provide resources to help parents. Former NFL coach Tony Dungy and Chick-Fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy and his son, Donald, are honorary co-chairs of the two-day event. Organizers say they've gathered a diverse group of more than 100 religious leaders, psychologists and other counseling professionals, public-health workers and others affiliated with groups that range from the conservative Focus on the Family to the Omega Psi Phi black fraternity. Dungy and the elder Cathy aren't expected to attend. W. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, said the conference is timely because of American society's ever-widening ``marriage gap'' that largely runs along racial and socio-economic lines. African Americans and people of all races who lack college degrees have much higher rates of divorce and unmarried childbearing than white, college-educated people, said Wilcox, who isn't connected with the Hampton conference. U.S. Census data show that 61 percent of first marriages remained intact in 2008, compared with 77 percent in 1970. Nearly 79 percent of adults reported being married in 1970, a figure that fell to 57 percent in 2008. And, according to a May report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics, nearly 40 percent of children born in 2007 had unmarried mothers, up 21 percent from 2002 and 80 percent higher than in 1980. Birth rates for unmarried women rose for all races between 2002-2006, with Hispanic and black women showing the highest out-of-wedlock birth rates in 2006. The figures are of concern because children born to single mothers generally are at higher risk of health, social and economic difficulties. Hampton's marriage summit and similar efforts are in line with a campaign by President Barack Obama, whose own father left his family when Obama was 2. ``We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception,'' Obama said in a speech on Father's Day last year during his campaign. ``We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child _ it's the courage to raise one.'' 4 | P a g e Recent marriage trends are partly rooted in economic shifts since the 1970s, as college-educated men have seen their incomes rise modestly while men without college educations have seen earnings fall, Wilcox said. That makes the latter group ``less attractive as potential or ongoing husbands, as being a good provider is integrally tied to being good husbands.'' But that's only part of the equation, as Americans have undergone what Wilcox calls an increase in ``expressive individualism'' over time. ``People are looking for happiness and fulfillment in their lives and relationships in ways that people would not have done two or three generations ago,'' he said. ``People are expecting a high level of fulfillment in marriages, and it's difficult to sustain that day in and day out. That has increased the fragility of marriage in the U.S.'' Malone-Colon noted that single motherhood also has become increasingly accepted, even glamorized in some circles, and those who disapprove have been branded as intolerant. ``We're not serving our children, us, or our country well. The evidence is there that it's not the best for the kid,'' she said. ``It's not that some kids don't thrive, but overall, kids are more at risk when they're in a single-parent home rather than a married-parent home, or ideally a healthy married-parent home.'' ___ On the Net: National Center on African-American Marriages and Parenting: http://www.hamptonu.edu/ncaamp/ National Marriage Project: http://www.virginia.edu/marriageproject/ National Center for Health Statistics report: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db18.htm NOTE: This article also appeared in the following media outlets: Outlet Date Newsone.com 9/30/2009 The South Florida Times 9/28/2009 WTKR Your NewsChannel 3 9/28/2009 Washington Times 9/28/2009 South Florida Times 9/28/2009 Yahoo!

  • Invocation Time to Tune in the Phenomenon of African American Religious Broadcasting
    Invocation Time to Tune In The Phenomenon of African American Religious Broadcasting Shine on me, shine on me. Let the light from the lighthouse Shine on me. — “Shine on Me,” in African American Heritage Hymnal At the dawn of the twentieth century, W. E. B. Du Bois described the black preacher as “the most unique personality developed by the Negro on American soil.”1 For the majority of the century, because of societal constraints regulating the movement of persons of color in America, these spiritual poets were largely confned to preaching to their own racial and residential communities. Today, however, with the victo- ries of the civil rights era and the emergence of advanced forms of media communication, many of these dynamic personalities have gained wider visibility both nationally and internationally. To channel-surf from BET to TBN to MBC to the Word Network is to witness the creative genius and artistic imaginations of these religious fgures. And it would be vir- tually impossible to enter any African American Christian congregation and fnd someone who had not heard of such televangelists as Bishop T. D. Jakes, Bishop Eddie Long, and Pastor Crefo Dollar. These preach- ers seem to have become ubiquitous in black popular culture as a result of their constant television broadcasts, mass video distributions, printed publications, gospel stage plays, musical recordings, and gargantuan congregations. With an astute marketing consciousness, these preachers and their style of ministry have found an enduring place in the African American religious imagination. 1 2 Invocation Televangelism and the Black Church in America Any discussion of televangelism and the black church involves an engage- ment with two distinct areas of religious expression that have grown exponentially in the post−civil rights era: religious broadcasting and the megachurch movement.

Thanks and love especially to my Mom who always encouraged me to be creative and queer – far before I knew what that really meant. If I have any talent for teaching it undoubtedly comes from seeing her as a passionate elementary school teacher growing up. I am very thankful that my 92-year-old grandma still gets to see her youngest grandchild graduate and finally get a “real job.” I know it’s taking a big worry off of her. There are already several medical doctors in the family, now you can add a Doctor of Philosophy to the list. I promise I will come home to visit again soon. Thanks also to my sister, Kim who has been there through the ups and downs, and made sure I stayed on track when things were falling apart. To my dad, thank you for encouraging me to follow my dreams even if I chased them some 3,000 miles across the ocean. To my Minneapolis ersatz family, the Kasellas – thank you for giving me a home away from home over the past five years.
