This time of disruptive change is profoundly affecting the church.

At this year’s Faithful Innovation Summit, delivered through an engaging mix of online media and communities, you’ll discover and embody faithful ways of leading the dispersed church more deeply into God’s life and love for the world. Register now faithlead.luthersem.edu/summit $99 per person ($199 for a team of up to four) 2 | 2020 Festival of Homiletics Welcome Welcome to the 2020 Festival of Homiletics! For everyone involved, this has been a step out of our pulpits and buildings and into a liminal space where we needed to discern how God invites us to preach when our churches are closed. When we found out that we couldn’t bring you to Atlanta, our presenters, designers, and worship leaders started working tirelessly to bring the festival to you. We never imagined the welcome you would extend to us. At the time of writing, more than 11,000 of you have registered to be with us online, and more than 2,000 have shown your support by purchasing the on-demand recordings. Along with our regular visitors from Canada and the United Kingdom, we’ve had conversations with preachers from Australia, Hungary, and Liberia; at least 56 countries outside the United States are represented in the participant list. Sponsors and vendors have continued to support the mission of the festival even when we couldn’t offer our typical storefront opportunities. I’ve always known that the festival feels like a community, and this year has demonstrated that reality in a new way. Thank you. It is our deepest prayer that this offering will feed your soul and spark your creativity in preaching for the year to come. Dawn Alitz Managing Director, Festival of Homiletics Welcome, preachers, to a new kind of festival for the new world in which we find ourselves. In the past two months, you have had to learn and invent previously unimaginable ways of doing church. You have had to pivot and adapt, developing formerly unfathomable ways of being the body of Christ. And yet, this is what the church knows how to do so well. We have always preached the impossible and proclaimed the unbelievable. We have always known how to testify to the good news in the face of futility. We are the ones who stare into empty tombs and, instead of seeing defeat and despair, know victory and hope. The theme for the 2020 Festival of Homiletics bears witness to our Creator, who brings that which is dead to life with the very breath of life. In coming together this week, from all over this world God loves so very much, we are reminded once again of God’s promise to make all things new, including the church—including us. I pray that you experience this week as a life-giving gift and abundant grace.

  • Towards the Development of a Black Mestizo Homiletic Timothy Jones
    Black Preaching in Brown Places: Towards the Development of a Black Mestizo Homiletic Timothy Jones PhD Student in Practical Theology/Homiletics Boston University School of Theology Abstract: Many Black neighborhoods across the United States are becoming increasingly Latin@. Black churches in these neighborhoods will need to adjust their ministry practices in order to build community amongst this changing demographic. Borrowing Elizondo’s notion of mestizo as one who can operate as both insider and outsider in different cultural locations, this paper begins to reimagine Black preaching in the churches that serve these changing neighborhoods. Using the postcolonial themes of marginality, hybridity, and self-reflexivity, this paper proposes the beginnings of a Black Mestizo homiletic that looks to merge Black and Latin@ preaching traditions in order to form congregations representative of the community. The Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles, CA, has served its community faithfully since it was founded in 1885. The oldest Black church in Los Angeles, Second Baptist played a very important role in the Civil Rights Movement and actually became the west coast pulpit of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., during the movement. While ministering at Second Baptist, Dr. King preached messages about serving the community and building the “beloved community” for all people. The challenge of preaching in this “beloved community” has changed in recent years for Second Baptist’s current Pastor, Rev. William Epps, as there have been major shifts in the demographics of Second Baptist’s neighborhood. A community that was once comprised of mixed income African Americans, has now become “a very low-income, largely Latino immigrant community.”1 While the church continues to be primarily African American, made up of members that commute in from other areas, there is a new challenge of preaching in ways that promote the idea of serving this newly Latino community.

The work of the NAACP has brought increased visibility and bolstered our historic credibility as the premier civil rights organization with funders, the media, our members, other civil and human rights organizations, policymakers and the public. In 2016 we continued our work on the ground and as we remained heavily involved in civic engagement activities, and witnessed the election of a new President who has thus far demonstrated antagonism at best to many of our priorities - including education, criminal justice, and voting rights.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. To be enfleshed literally means to be “in the flesh.” My usage here of enfleshment refers to the embodied subject, namely human beings. This project’s assertion of enfleshment as a paradoxical phenomenon refers to the reality of multiple ways of being within the flesh that sometimes com- plement, but more often contradict each other. It is from this apparent con- tradiction the enfleshed subject embodies that identity crisis emerges. 2. Womanist theoethicist emilie m. townes posits isness as the physical and spiritual marking of humanity. Isness refers to “concrete existence (lived life) and the impetus for a coherent and unified relationship between body, soul and creation.” For full treatment see emilie m. townes, In a Blaze of Glory: Womanist Spirituality as Social Witness (Nashville: Abingdon Press, 1995), 48–49. Along these same lines, isness functions here as a referent to concrete embodiedness. 3. G. Reginald Daniel, More than Black? Multiracial Identity and the New Racial Order (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2002), 3. 4. William Edward Burghardt DuBois, The Souls of Black Folk (New York: Bantam Books, 1989), 3. 5. Ibid. 6. I employ this phrase, “the gaze of white supremacy,” throughout the book to refer to the Western optics of morality that normatively disavow the “idea of black equality in beauty, culture, and intellectual capacity” (West, 47). This Western aesthetics establishes a “normative gaze” that essentially determines that blacks do not measure up to the classical aesthetic norm that is based on European cultural values and produces a racialized dis- course that dehumanizes bodies defying this established white normativity.

  • The Black Church Prophetic Tradition and Trinity United Church of Christ
    The Black Church Prophetic Tradition and Trinity United Church of Christ • This is an attack on the Black Church’s historic prophetic concern for social justice – the Black Church in America was born out of the crucible of slavery, lynching and Jim Crow. It was the prophetic voice and protest of the Black Church that opened up America’s democracy for the right to vote for women, 18 year olds at war in Viet Nam, people with special needs and English as a second language. • The Bible tells us Jesus was born to set the captives free ---within the context of Liberation Theology – this is an opportunity for America to change the trajectory of racism, sexism, classism and homophobia in the church and global community. (in your own words talk for 30 seconds about the need for prophets to preach against oppression in America and around the globe…Post Enlightenment and Post Entitlement) • Jesus Christ taught, preached, was crucified but resurrected for the suffering of the “least of these.” The critical questions that needs to be asked is - why does the media and others attack ministers who preach teach and preach about social and economic injustices against oppressed men, women and children? • For many years in America, some white Christians taught Black people were heathens and did not have souls. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed before he died that the 11 o’clock hour on Sunday is the most segregated in America – Dr. King’s prophetic teaching is still relevant in the year 2008 in America. • America will commemorate the assassination of Rev.

    This transcript was exported on Feb 10, 2021 - view latest version here. Announcer: Welcome to the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast. February is Black History Month. To continue learning about the establishing, evolution, and culture of the Black church, we spoke with African American Christian leaders and educators to guide us through the history of the Black church and the critical purpose it serves as part of the full kingdom. These conversations cover some of the critical events in early US history all the way up to current events in order to help us appreciate the roots and establishment of the Black church. Announcer: In today's conversation, our director of special initiatives and operations and executive search consultant, Chantel McHenry, spoke with Dr. Cheryl A. Kirk-Duggan, professor of religion at Shaw University Divinity School in Raleigh, North Carolina, and an ordained elder in The Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. They discuss the significant role of the Black church all the way from 1900 to the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. Kirk-Duggan shares how enslavement evolved into Jim Crow laws, mass incarceration, and voter suppression as well as how white Christians contributed to these issues and their long-term effects on Black Americans and the Black church. Announcer: At Vanderbloemen, we value constant improvement and we invite you to walk alongside us as we learn more about how to better love and serve the whole church. We hope you enjoy Chantel's conversation with Dr. Kirk-Duggan. Chantel McHenry: Dr. Cheryl Kirk-Duggan, thank you so much for joining me today on the Vanderbloemen Leadership Podcast.
