Same Denomination But Different Distinction: White and Black Christianity

How as our cultural experiences impacted worship and created another racial divide. Let us take a look at religion as a social construct. We are going to start by taking a closer look at the origins of religion of white and black Christianity. We are going to look at the impact of the Maroons on black religion, and impact of industrial and colonial periods.

 

As we analyze the theology of James H. Cone, whose views are supported by the critique of white theology that does not yet recognize its whiteness, we construct an analysis of the pros and cons of Cones works. Working to analyze how and why two groups of people that worship the same God can worship so differently and fail to come together completely.
