R3 Reflections: Confederate Flags and Cosby

Last updated on: July 20, 2015 at 7:19 am By Guest Contributor

Below are some reflections from friends of R3 on both the Confederate Flag and Bill Cosby. If you have a small reflection on an issue or topic of the day, please share it with R3 at [email protected] Doctah Lele I didn’t think I would be so emotional watching the ‪#‎Confederate‬ flag’s removal. But then, I should think it not strange. The ancestral blood of my Lowcountry peeps ripped from the shores of the West Indies and West Africa still runs warm in... Read more

Confessions of a Woman Who Preaches: On Being a Sacred Listening Partner

Last updated on: July 8, 2015 at 9:52 pm By Guest Contributor

**TRIGGER WARNING I have served in some sort of ordained ministry for the past 9 years. There has not been even one year when I did not find myself having sacred conversations with multiple women who have been sexually, psychologically, physically, or spiritually abused…and sometimes it was all of the above. I have covenanted as a sacred listening partner (I am not a counselor and I do not use that word for pastoral conversations) far too many women to count... Read more

Charleston and the Role of the #BlackChurch

Last updated on: July 6, 2015 at 12:29 pm By Guest Contributor

*Note: This post is a response to a friend’s sincere question about how she needs to address her community in regards to the events in Charleston. She wanted to know more specifically how she should describe and talk about the Black Church when most of her friends worry that the Black Church is symbolic of how we continue to focus on things that separate us. Shauntae Brown White offered this response. The term “black” (HBCU, church, school) is usually in... Read more

#BlackPastorChronicles: Welcoming (White) Strangers

Last updated on: July 6, 2015 at 11:57 am By Earle Fisher

We had some unexpected guests today at Abyssinian Missionary Baptist Church. A white couple celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary in Memphis (who were from Michigan and were staying at the Heartbreak Hotel) came through ABC for Sunday Worship service. The husband called the church in advance and asked “How far are yall from the Heartbreak Hotel?” (reread that with a peculiar white accent…not quite redneck but surely not Bill Moyers either)….. Upon hearing about this I immediately walked outside to see... Read more

The Public Theologian: The Post Reconstruction Rhetoric of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner-Pt. 4

Last updated on: July 5, 2015 at 7:54 am By Andre E. Johnson

In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the death of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner (February 1, 1834-May 8, 2015). Turner challenged his fellow Bishops as well. In writing about the ministerial appointment process, Turner cautioned Bishops to ignore appeals from ministers who do not have any “soul saving” in them. The sooner the Bishops of the A.M E. Church ignore all appeals for the return of pastors that do not have any soul-saving in them, the better. The argument... Read more

Keeping Faith in a Season of Change

Last updated on: July 1, 2015 at 5:36 pm By Guest Contributor

The reaction of some conservative Christians to recent political events in the US continues to interest me. The vitriol and defiance directed against the SCOTUS for its decisions on same-sex marriage and the Affordable Care Act, the silence or dissembling amidst the upsurge of racial terrorism, the angst over the Confederate flag, and other developments are feeding on a fear that is bordering on paranoia for some folks. There’s an emerging theme among the disaffected that we are about to... Read more
