Today, I'll be serving as a guest panelist for a webinar entitled "Black Leadership Lessons from Across the Disciplines" with Seminary Now and Christianity Today. Here (below) is the trailer that will be shown before our interview-style webinar kicks off. I honor this course, today's conversation, and the work of my fellow leaders not only as culturally important, but as divinely prophetic. https://lnkd.in/eaD7FJu2 "There's still something about being Black in America. The issues that African Americans face today are at the center of our national dialogue. What do we mean when we say the Black church? In fact, why is there a separate church or racially divided church? Aren't we all the same before Christ? Now these are all questions that we will address in our introduction to Black Church Studies. And in this course, we will see the ways that the Black church provided hope for people caught up in American slavery, and it's helped Black Americans defeat slavery and segregation, and win victories for civil rights. In many ways, we will see the Black church became the prophetic voice and the moral conscious of America." Today, I'm honored to be speaking into art and creativity, and to be joining fellow innovative and passionate Black Christian leaders across multiple disciplines to share what has motivated, encouraged, and, at times, frustrated us in our leadership. If you a free, please join this webinar. Invite your fellow church leaders and colleagues. Don't miss this conversation, which is really essentially a celebration of Black History Month, as we discuss leadership, hospitality, faith, and the future of the church. Webinar begins at 1pm ET/12 CT. Here is the link to sign up: https://lnkd.in/eQqfCrdE

lets go back to history

👉🏾The Haitian Revolution brought an end to slavery and French colonial rule in Haiti in 1804. 👉🏾 In Saint Lucia and the rest of the English-speaking Caribbean, our enslaved ancestors were freed in 1834, a year after the official proclamation. 👉🏾 The formal end of slavery in the Spanish-speaking countries of South and Central America occurred during pivotal independence movements which began as early as the 1810s, with slavery ending in most of these countries by the 1850s. Slavery in Puerto Rico ended in 1873, and in Cuba in 1886. 👉🏾 After a 10-year transition period from the initial proclamation, enslaved persons in Suriname and the Dutch Antilles were freed in 1873. 👉🏾 In 1888, Brazil was the last country in the Americas where slavery came to an end. ---------- Juneteenth (June 19) commemorates the end of slavery in the United States which is an important part of this timeline. Occurring in 1865, this places the US as one of the last countries to end slavery in the Americas. This TedX animation was beautifully and intentionally crafted and gives a comprehensive overview of the end of slavery in the United States and the continued fight for racial equality for Black Americans to this day.

In A Storm is Coming, Damon Berry highlights how the religious apocalypticism of QAnon has opened the door for a dangerous societal shift where it is normal to have “apocalyptic visions of the world and its problems” and “to describe their ideological and political opponents as villains who must be eliminated to pave the way for paradise, rather than fellow-laborers in building the future we all must share.” Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eQ4HKCcp
