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. -
Cycles and Concentricity in Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias in Ma
Sylvie Thode Mount Menoikeion Seminar June 2018 Over and Over: Cycles and Concentricity in Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivias In many religions, and especially within various Christian traditions, repetition is used as penance: a priest might tell a Catholic parishioner to repeat five Hail Mary prayers and five Our Father’s as punishment for some sin. In a more drastic example, a monk from the Middle Ages might take to flagellating himself repeatedly for something as small as an impure thought, or just simply to connect with the pain Christ felt at the Crucifixion. However, repetition can also represent moments of praise or exaltation: one need only think of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. In traditions outside Christianity as well repetitive acts of devotion are used to celebrate God and achieve closeness with the divine force. In the Turkish sect of Sufism, a mystical strain of Islam, people known as whirling dervishes twirl in a circle over and over until they essentially lose all sense of where they are, and are said to access a high plane, closer to God’s divinity. One of the key figures of Christian mysticism, St. Hildegard of Bingen who lived in Germany during the 12th century, is especially exemplary of the power of repetitive, devotional motions of prayer. Hildegard is most well-known for her extensive visions of God, the Trinity, the Universe, and Heaven: she recorded these visions in a book called Scivias, which is a truncated form of the theological phrase Sci Vias Domini, or “know the ways of the Lord.” The book is divided into three “books,” a numerological allusion to the Trinity, with each book being a collection of individual visions. -

Susan K. Roll
Susan K. Roll Hildegard of Bingen: a Doctor of the Church On October 7, 2012, I was privileged to be present at the outdoor papal Mass at the Vatican in which Hildegard of Bingen was officially declared a Doctor of the Church. On October 26 I was even more privileged to be invited to give the opening address at the First International Conference of the Scivias Institut. As a member of the Scivias Institut from the beginning, I was pleased that this conference took place less than three weeks after Hildegard (finally!) received public recognition of her genius and of her contribution both to the Roman Catholic Church and to human creativity and knowledge, both scientific and mystical. In this article I will give some of the background and significance of the title “Doctor of the Church,” then briefly sketch the steps involved in Hildegard’s case. We will mention briefly the loose ends that remain in ascertaining the exact motive. Finally, to expand the context somewhat, we will take a glance at a sampling of contemporary commentaries that illustrates the rather odd situation today in which a medieval nun seems to have become, if not “all things to all people,” then certainly many very different things to various groups of people who want nothing to do with each other. The first point to note is that “Doctor of the Church” is conferred as an honorary title. It is not based on original research nor on the formal academic achievements equivalent to those of a person who holds a university Doctor title today. -

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. -
