Streaming Media

Session Description

This session will explore the depth, riches, wisdom, and insights that have emerged through several centuries of Christian worship among African-American communities in North America —and the way these gifts can bless and strengthen all kinds of churches—both multicultural churches and culturally homogenous churches, both African-American churches and churches of other ethnic and cultural groups, both churches in North America and beyond. The session will highlight themes developed in a wonderful new publication: Readings in African American Church Music and Worship, ed. James Abbington (GIA Publications, Inc.), and suggest practical strategies for further learning in your context.
