Approaches to Anti-Racist Proclamation: Theologies and Practices

1 credits · Divinity School

Anti-racist proclamation attends to the particularity of the congregational setting. It is not 'one-size-fits-all.' This course examines various ethical and homiletic approaches to anti-racist preaching in multiple white and non-white contexts. It then asks students to construct two anti-racist sermons – one for their seminary peers and one for a local congregation in which they participate. The congregational sermon will culminate in a feedback reflection focus-group. Students will participate their own anti-racist formation through a weekly reflection journal that engages the readings and assesses their preaching through the lens of one of the ethical homiletic models discussed in class.
