As more congregations become culturally and ethnically heterogeneous, pastors are faced with the challenge of designing worship services that address a wide range of differing needs and expectations. Black offers help for congregations that are consciously trying to embrace diversity. She explores types of multicultural worship situations, addresses questions with which worship planners must start, and offers models for building a new congregational culture in the midst of diversity.
A work that will inspire cross-cultural sensitivity, this
practical guide provides a road map to the basic worship practices
of the major ethnic and cultural groups in North American
Protestantism.
"In Worship Across Cultures, Kathy Black reports information
about actual Christian worship practices gathered in collaboration
with persons who come from and minister with churches in twenty-one
different cultural contexts in the US. This book is a uniquely
valuable resource whether for pastors who regularly lead Christian
worship in cultural contexts beyond their own, or for persons
visiting worship in another context to attend a marriage or a
funeral. By approaching the study of worship through description of
actual practices, it will inspire cross-cultural sensitivity, as
well as providing food for thought and new ideas for worship. I
heartily recommend it for laity, pastors, and seminary
classes."--Ruth Duck, Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary
In A Healing Homiletic: Preaching and Disability, Kathy Black
offers a unique and effective approach for preaching about
disabilities. By going to the heart of the gospel and drawing on
the healing narratives or miracle stories, Black shows how
preaching affects the inclusion or exclusion of forty-three million
persons with disabilities from our faith communities. A Healing
Homiletic provides a new method of preaching about healing, based
on Scripture, for understanding the needs of the disability
community.
In Postcolonial Preaching, HyeRan Kim-Cragg argues that preaching
is the act of dropping the stone of the Gospel into a lake, making
waves to move hearts and transform the world wounded by colonial
violence. The ripple effect serves as a metaphor and acronym to
guide to preaching that takes postcolonial concerns seriously:
Rehearsal, Imagination, Place, Pattern, Language and Exegesis
(RIPPLE). Kim-Cragg explains each "ripple" in this approach and
exercise of creating and delivering sermons. The author delivers
fresh insights while drawing on some traditional homiletical
perspectives in the service of a homiletic that takes the reality
of racism, migration, and environmental degradation seriously.
Moreover, Kim-Cragg demonstrates the postcolonial sermon in action
by including annotated homilies. This book contributes to the very
first wave of the application of postcolonial scholarship in
preaching. Given the continuing extent and influence of colonial
worldviews and legacies, this approach should become a staple in
preaching over the next generation.
