The Black Church Is Dead
Have you heard? That’s the controversial title of an essay written by Princeton professor of African-American church historian Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. The New York Times covers the controversy here. The Huffington Post has the original essay.
Apparently another member of the church family has died as well. Anthony Bradley pens the obit for the emergent church.
I’m off to do some reading, but I’d thought I’d let you know that a eulogy and funeral took place when I wasn’t looking. If you get a chance to read these pieces, drop by and let me know what you think. But it seems clear: the only church that lives is the church that faithfully preaches the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
