July Book Group Discussion - Black Theology and Black Power
Facilitator. Fr. Paul Daniels II
James Hal Cone published Black Theology & Black Power in 1969 - a work of protest born through Cone's anger at the assassination of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The book imagines, and performs, how the ethos of the Black Power Movement might work in a Christian tenor. And, as a result, Cone began laying the ground for a Black liberation theology wherein God is on the side of the oppressed, standing in total and unremitting judgment of white, settler colonial Christianity.
This is a good old fashion reading group - not a class. We will read together and discuss the entirety of Cone's text over the course of four weeks in July. We'd so love to have you! Below is the schedule:
July 4th: Introduction and Chapter One
July 11th: Chapter Two and Chapter Three
July 18th: Chapter Four and Chapter Five
July 25th: Chapter Six
NOTE: THE BOOK DISCUSSION ZOOM LINK DIFFERS FROM THOSE USED BY CATHEDRAL LITURGY OR THE CONGREGATION.
