 | Authentically Black and Truly Catholic Jul 17, 2007 |
The introduction to these 23 prayer services offers highlights from the history of the modern Black Catholic Church. It includes references to pre-Vatican II research on the roots of African theologies and philosophies; the 1969 exhortation from Pope Paul VI to the African church to offer its gift of blackness to the world; and the 1984 call from the Black Bishops of the Unites States for "authentically Black" and "truly Catholic" liturgies. Fr. Brown began the project that led to this book during the Civil Rights movement and what he calls a "parallel revolution" in U.S. chapels and churches.
The services here reflect Fr. Brown's understanding that people rooted in African theologies and philosophies have a unique way of conceiving the human, communal, and divine. They also embody the emotional, effective, dramatic, and soul-full performance in the faith assembly that characterizes African worship. Content often focuses on naming and honoring ancestors, as in the litany of Black saints, which features a calendar of more than 80 feast days. Ritual, evangelization, public personal prayer, and music, the specialty of Fr. Cheri, are also treated in detail.
The book includes services for men, women, youth, and children; reconciliation; Good Friday; and Black History Month. Many are appropriate for or can be adapted by ecumenical groups, and all can be used as inspiration for new services that are authentically Black and truly Catholic.
