Liberated by love: deconstructing heteropatriarchy in the Black churchJohnson, Alexander Emmitt Maurice 10 July 2024 (has links)
In many regards, the Black church has been incapable of reaching its fullest potential given its embrace of sexist and heterosexist theologies that marginalize and demonize women and our LGBTQ siblings. This project examines the source of these pernicious theologies and presents an inclusive alternative rooted in the radical love ethic best demonstrated through the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Appropriating Thomas Groome’s Shared Christian Praxis pedagogy, this project sets forth a path for critically evaluating existing theologies within the Black church; and establishes practices for reconstructing inclusive theologies, in community. By establishing theological foundations that reject the perpetuation of oppression, the Black church can more fully live into its Christian witness, more faithfully engage the work of liberation and more genuinely resemble the Christ whom we seek to serve.
