Conversations! (Black Church Culture, Islamic Persecution & Bible Studies)

On this episode, we talk everything from the Bible, to the Black Church, Islamic persecution around the globe and back! Part II of our CONVERSATIONS series features the WWH co-host: the insightful, sensitive and cool Verdell Wright. It is the continuation of an on-going dialogue stemming from Episode 6 and Episode 10 ("Good God Gone" and "Conversations!" if you missed it). This time we’re deconstructing higher New Testament criticism and what that means in for a demographic where as much as 90% of faithful Christians believe in Biblical literalism. Former Minister and ex-seminarian Verdell Wright and host Rogiérs, a former Minister of Music discuss the intense and subtle dynamics of faith and culture in-practice, and the ways in which inequities, trends and systems impact and impair healthy relationships in the Black Church, with ourselves...and each other. We also ponder what it means to “Accountable” as individuals and institutions of faith.  _____________________________  (Ep. 17)   Show Notes   Host: Rogiérs   Writing & Narration: Rogiérs   Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC  Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon  Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu  Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC  Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson  Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, Tarell “BAM” Lester, Kevin Terry and Predestined   Resources & Mentions  "Why I Stopped Pursuing Ordained Ministry", Verdell A.
