The Return of Black Jesus

Recently there have been a few pieces of media addressing the issue of African ancestry and Jesus. Click here to read up on a new movie that features a Black Jesus. A few days ago I downloaded Pigeon John's "Pigeon John and the Summertime Pool Party" album. There's a track called "As We Know It" which is comes after a skit called "A Black Man on a White Horse." The song is Pigeon John voicing his frustrations with Jesus but ultimately finds solace in Jesus's comforting understanding and grace. This song has been truly worshipful to me. You can find it on emusic.com and/or itunes. Check it out, let me know what you think. Lastly, this book "Afrocentric Sermons", I have really enjoyed. Itwas written by a professor at APU, Kenneth Waters. It highlights Black themes in the Bible and helps folks reclaim their ethnic/cultural identity through their faith.

Enjoy!
