SOCIAL MEDIA
Should black churches use social media differently? Part 3
When I first traveled to the Washington, D.C., area to do a case study of Community of Hope AME Church (COH) in Prince George’s County, MD, I expected to see a church of people age 35 and under. After all, I had watched worship online and danced to a gospel song with a D.C. go-go beat from the comfort of my kitchen. The church website includes the words “hiphop” and video games
SOCIAL MEDIA
Should black churches use social media differently? Part 2
This implies that black churches—if they are interested in reaching black people—should be active on Twitter. While I haven’t seen any statistics on the religiosity of the black people on Twitter, if the recent Pew study is correct that African Americans are more religious than the U.S. population as a whole (as measured by things like belief in God, church attendance, and frequency of prayer), then it’s worth assuming that some of the black people on Twitter have a decent level of interest in church.
BOOKS
CJ Rhodes: Thy Kingdom Come
“This book is a sampling of several writings published during my first two years as pastor of Mt Helm. Similar to books published by Martin Luther King, Jr., this text reflects my vision for Christian leadership, especially pastoral leadership, for such a time as this. Engaging, challenging, and faithful, these writings seek to remind the Church that it is God’s hope for the world.”

If our faith...is such that it is destroyed by force of argument then let it be destroyed; for it will have been proved that we do not possess the truth.

This tore open a slice in the gender constructs within Black cultural milieus that has, e […]
