Practical Theology for Black Churches: Bridging Black Theology and African American Folk ReligionThe rift between black theology, with its social and political concerns, and black churches, with their emphases on pastoral care and piety, has been growing.

The rift between black theology, with its social and political concerns, and black churches, with their emphases on pastoral care and piety, has been growing. Here, Dale Andrews offers a way to bridge this gap by redefining the paradigm of church as "refuge" in terms of a faith identity that brings together a concern for liberation with a pastoral focus on spirituality. This faith identity emerges from dominant biblical themes that shape preaching and pastoral care.

Andrews' insightful analysis of the gulf between black churches and black theology reveals the invasive influence of individualism in black religious life as well as the shared values for social change and care of the soul. Notably, it is this influence of individualism that has disrupted communal solidarity and brought about the neglect of liberation ethics within black church life. This practical theology will contribute greatly towards renewing the pastoral and prophetic ministry of black religious life.

Deb‘s opinion.
Color: Black
Irritating, if you want a quick grab the dish rag hanging on there because then the holder comes off along with the dish rack. Otherwise, I love it. Good quality, nice size love the organization feature.

Convenience!
Color: Black
Where have you been all my life? This is the best thing I ever bought! I was so sick of hanging my dishcloth on the faucet or between the 2 sinks. Now it has a place of its own. Makes may life easier now. It’s the little things that matter!

I really enjoy the compact design
Color: Black
Just purchased this to go with our new granite composite sink. Looks great, and water runs off in the sink just like shown. I wasn’t sure I could deal with what I consider clutter, but it’s not so bad for the convenience of the product.

Cute white kitchen caddy
Color: White
This is just a really cute little caddy and as simple as it is, it really makes your kitchen sink much neater Just the perfect size for some sponges and soap and I like the little holder that you can put your dish cloth on helps keep it dry, so it won’t sour.
