Wow!Wow! Wow! This article is so real in describing black preaching, politics, church, and state. Here lay so many significant components of my experience in the black church that I hardly know where to begin. For a certainty, the preacher is definitely a “celebrity” because members of the congregation look to be guided in church and state (politically)matters. No doubt, each sermon is centered around current events in the state, church, home, and school. As far as I can remember, the mention of politics continues to be a building block which leads to issues surrounded by racial identity. The use of theology to promote or demote political issues are not limited to renown preachers such as Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright and Richard Allen especially in regard to political and church issues. For a certainty, the preacher use of parables to explain trials as well tribulations parishioners are confronted with support the persuasive rhetoric on “christian identify.” This tone of deconstructing a theology of defiance has always been a unique but maybe it is a conditioning factor stemming from the institution of slavery.
