Updated with Response: The Black Church is Dead—Long Live the Black Church

By Eddie S. Glaude Jr.

…and homes of the most theologically conservative white men in America: Dr. James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Ted Haggard, John Ashcroft, Billy Graham, George W. Bush, et al.

This brings us to the terms like unity, forgiveness, hope and reconciliation which are frequently invoked to move the nation “past” these tragedies. Interracial unity prayers and interfaith services are offered as examp…

An Open Letter to Black Clergy on the Disdain for Protest

By Rev. Osagyefo Sekou

…ity cannot put it out. For it was a queer son of the black holiness church—James Baldwin—who reminded us that God gave Moses a rainbow sign: no more water but fire now. May this season be greeted with your willingness to come to the streets; taste and see the new things that God is doing in the Earth. As it was then, so it is now: wise men bring gifts of reverence to poor children born to nothing because they are our salvation. Your son, Rev. Osag…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…This is present in the ‘Black Christology’ of academic theologians such as James Cone, Albert Cleage, Jr., and within popular readings of the Bible by African Americans who identify with Jesus as a co-sufferer. Social media currently abounds with tweets, memes, and posts portraying Jesus as an unarmed man of color who was killed by Roman authorities or “law enforcement” by being “lynched” on a cross. Although Shaun King and others are correct to c…

Charleston Killings: This is What a Sin Against the Holy Spirit Looks Like

By Peter Laarman

…failingly bearing silent witness to these same insecurities and crimes. As James Baldwin and many others have observed, the presence of black people and the ordeal of black people in the United States stand as a mighty rebuke to anything remotely flattering that the white man wishes to think about himself: all of the white man’s notions of his courage, his generosity, and his Christian love get shattered to pieces by the mirror black people hold…
