Black Theology in Americas 1492 -Present
from Health and Healing Dealing with Trauma and Addictions · host Michael D.
Oh, it may not be sexy to talk about history or religious history, but I think you'll enjoy the information here. There is the era of constructive theology, where Black thinkers, pastors, and activists reimagine what Christianity can be even as they engage Islam, Judaism, Afro-Caribbean religions, and Buddhism. Their work suggests and insists that theology cannot stop at the boundaries of the church but must address the entire ecology of race, faith, and belonging. Mentioning each religion, their work expands Black theology into genuine interfaith dialogue, proving that liberation cannot be confined to Christian or Muslim frameworks. When you think about the history of the Christian church and how it was weaponized against people of color and others, people often discredit the western system of belief and shun the practice. Also, the continued and consistent misuse of the books of scriptures has had lasting trauma and confusion. Consider sharing. Anxiety can trigger depression and other behavioral, physical, and mental health issues. It is especially hard if you are dealing with other personal, work, relationship, or family-related issues. Please be aware that it is okay to ask for help.
