Navigating the In-Between: Black Evangelicalism Oral History Project | Vincent Bacote

In this episode, host Dan Hummel, sits down with Vincent Bacote, Professor of Theology and Director of Wheaton College’s Center for Applied Christian Ethics in Wheaton, Illinois. Bacote is the lead for The Black Evangelical Oral History Project, a documentary film that aims to tell the story of black evangelicalism in the United States. The project originated from an event at Fuller Seminary in 2008, where the idea of capturing the history of black evangelicalism through oral interviews was conceived. The documentary features interviews with various black evangelical leaders, highlighting their experiences and perspectives within the evangelical movement. The film explores themes such as the in-between space of black evangelicalism, the challenges of racial reconciliation, and the global nature of evangelicalism. A key goal of the project is to invite more stories, fostering a sense of community and encouraging audience participation. The project aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of black evangelicalism and its significance within the larger evangelical movement.----🖥️ Watch this episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/ZeYeGqlEd28----Send us Fan MailCONNECT WITH USSubscribe to The UpWords Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and visit slbf.org/studio to learn more about our work at the intersection of faith, the academy, and the marketplace.This episode was created by the SLBF STUDIO at Upper House.Produced by Daniel Johnson and Dave ConourEdited by Dave Conour
