  • 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.

Although the Church has engaged in numerous attempts to remedy racism, theology still seems to witness to a God that stands relatively unopposed to the status quo of racial injustice and marginalization. This dissertation begins with the claim that Christian theology still operates from the normativity of whiteness. I will argue that, although the Church has made admirable progress with regard to racial justice, the attempts have been at the surface: the underlying structural logic of White supremacy remains intact. My thesis will be that the systemic problem in North American Christianity of a persistent “White privileged theology” or “normalized whiteness” can best be eliminated by constructing a theological response in classical categories—theodicy, anthropology, and epistemology.

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.
