The History of Black Americans and the Black Church #43

Our Scripture verse for today is Romans 5:10 which reads: "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."

Our History of Black Americans and the Black Church quote for today is from Lee June, a professor at Michigan State University and the author of the book, "Yet With A Steady Beat: The Black Church through a Psychological and Biblical Lens." He continues discussing statements which are frequently heard in the black church which he calls “innocent but dangerous.”

Our first topic for today is titled "One Way Passage, Part 4" from the book, "From Slavery to Freedom" by John Hope Franklin. 

Our second topic for today is "The Negro Church: A Nation Within a Nation, Part 12" from The Negro Church in America by E. Franklin Frazier.

Our third and final topic for today is from "The Black Church in the U.S.: Its Origin, Growth, Contributions, and Outlook" by  Dr. William A. Banks.
