In the last few years there has been extensive discussion of the purported “death” of the black church. Speakers J. Kameron Carter, Eddie Glaude, and Vincent Lloyd will address the questions: Is there still a place for the black church is “post-racial” America? How might a theological conception of church be applicable to the black church?
This lecture is part of a special symposium, “Theology and Black Politics,” hosted by Vincent Lloyd, a professor of religion at Syracuse University and a 2012-2103 Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study distinguished guest fellow.
The symposium features several invited scholars, including J. Kameron Carter, associate professor of Theology, Duke Divinity School; Angela Dillard, professor of Afroamerican and African Studies, University of Michigan; and Eddie Glaude, professor and chair of the Center for African American Studies, Princeton University.
The symposium, sponsored by the Department of Africana Studies and the NDIAS, will include meetings with scholars and African-American church leaders and a number of open sessions available to University of Notre Dame faculty and students, as well as to the general public.
