Description

By Julia Speller

The religious experience of African Americans has never been monolithic. While the term ‘the black religious experience’ implies the presence of homogenous congregations whose worship experiences, theologies, spiritualities and forms of ministry mirror each other, this is far from the truth… In this book, Julia Speller takes us on a tour that reveals yet another layer of this congregational diversity, through the contemporary expression of ‘an Africentric spirituality.’
