Rarely is "African American Spirituality" on the list. That's why, when I heard of Fr. Paul Abernathy's book, The Prayer of a Broken Heart: An Orthodox Christian Reflection on African American Spirituality, I was instantly intrigued. In this video, Fr. Paul and I discuss everything from the history of African American spirituality to St. Moses the Black to the overlaps between Orthodoxy and African American Spirituality. It's a fascinating conversation, and likely one you haven't heard elsewhere.Check out his book: https://amzn.to/3JxnkR8Learn more about Neighborhood Resilience Project: https://neighborhoodresilience.org/Support Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicityOne Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-spring.comFollow Gospel Simplicity on Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gospelsimplicityInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gospelsimplicitySupport the show
