WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?
The audience will hear the value of interpreting religious and biblical text through a womanist lens.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
The noted author, Alice Walker coined the phrase "womanist" in the early 80s. In short, a womanist is an individual who is focused on issues that are specific to black women in particular but also addresses issues of race, class, and gender. Womanism encompasses tradition, community, spirituality, and the self. Womanist theology, then, is examining religion from the perspective of women who are black. It is an opportunity to affirm their existence and contributions and to dispel myths and harmful theology that bind individuals to oppression.
Join Rev. Dr. TLC and the Rev. Catherine Cummings, a United Methodist Minister, as they discuss the myriad of ways that religion and Biblical texts can be a balm to the spirit and simultaneously perpetuate racists and sexist beliefs when not not interpreted through a historical, critical, and womanist lens.
