- On February 13, Dr. Jacqueline C. Rivers presented her Black History Month Address on the history of the Black church in America. Rivers was welcomed by President Tim Gibson as the address was part of the ongoing President’s Lecture Series. Her lecture examined how the Black church came into being and why it continues to exist, arguing that “The roots of the Black church lie in the contradictions and hypocrisy of the white church."
Dr. Rivers is a lecturer at Harvard University and executive director of the Seymour Institute on Black Church and Policy Studies. Rivers holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University where she was a Doctoral Fellow in the Multidisciplinary Program in Inequality and Social Policy of the J. F.

Yes, black church derived from the “white church members” not recognizing them in equality. The whole crux of the matter is that not religion, but a relationship with the Father is what brings the liberation. Religion makes null, can enslave and kills the spirit of many.
A relationship with GOD, the Most High, JEHOVAH, ELOHIM, whatever your tongue calls HIM, is life and life more abundantly. What we need and you find that in the Scriptures Isaiah 53 and John 3 as the LORD JESUS or YESHUA hath said “you must be Born Again” which is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, a big difference than just being a person who goes to church or a church member.
Also, all this talk about white Jesus is null and void, just because evil men used the Scriptures to lie cheat and steal and to fit their narratives, does not make the Scriptures void and the scripture reveals such men would do these things. No where in the Bible does it give white men presidence over black people or any people. READ for yourself.
Finally someone with sense!!!!!

I believe Dr. King was right, we have entered a burning building.
Interesting perspective. The same applies in Kenya, we have "indigenous churches" that arose due to racism from mainstream churches in pre-independence kenya. These churches are predominately found in the western part of Kenya.
arent one of the first churches in the world in eritrea and etiopia. i know that christianity came 1000 years later ich in my country, norway,- after east central africa where it came right after middle east

An interesting presentation. It makes one think about the role of religion amongst other parts of the African Diaspora as well, not to mention the interconnectedness of those who are part of that Diaspora. How did that interconnectedness influence political and social movements in the Diaspora (especially in the Caribbean and the US) and on the African continent itself?

Really interesting!
We think so too!
We have the same in Canada. Black churches. I grew up in one.
Wow Canadian I find you all over faith centered TH-cam 👋🏼
This is a great presentation the frame of reference though 1800s, to me if you want to know about Christianity and not social condition start from the first century particularly Greek.

Something that stands out to me in MLK's Letter from the Birmingham Jail, is that though Dr. King was an unyielding advocate of nonviolence, he nevertheless leverages the rise of Black militancy as negotiating tactic. In other words he takes a position that if the establishment doesn't accept the peaceful methodology of the SCLC to drive social justice reform, the alternative is the uprise of Black violence. Hence, I wonder if Black academia has adequately explored the role in which MLK's Civil Rights Movement played off of the rise of Black militancy to advance the Black cause?

It should be Protestantism or maybe Protestant. Christianity
May be the whites are right to discriminate against black people in their church, may be there's a God for whites and a God for blacks, and HE wants to be worshiped separately, after all, the white man introduced this God to black people. Black people have forsaken their own spirituality and embraced a foreign God, now there are complaining about discrimination, yet they are the ones worshiping a foreign God.
Black people in America are in a foreign land. BY FORCE. (That back to Africa stuff is dumb because we didn't ask to come. Now that we're here and have been since 1619 (probably earlier) we are fundamentally different as a group and have no place anywhere but here in America). There were deliberate actions taken to make sure Africans (now Black Americans) were separated from their land, customs, religions and relatives. So we did not choose this religion. It was hoisted upon us. Further, NO ONE complaining. She explained WHY there are separate churches. Nobody is begging to be apart of their stuff. The Methodist's didn't want the Black people to worship in church so they left and created their own church in 1818! And the white methodists spent 20 years trying to get control over that particular church the Black people created from themselves. DID YOU NOT HEAR THAT? White people are insinuating that we are divisive when we have Black- centered institutions like churches but really only want to be in control to make sure our pinnacle does not exceed white peoples'. She outlined that point several times. We are constantly trying to get away from Whitets and people like you. I assume you are some kind of immigrant or a white. READ A BOOK. I mean I guess you're too lazy or obtuse to read anyway since you don't even seem capable of LISTENING. Hopefully you can read this. Then again, it doesn't matter. You're just another one in the numbers of people Black Americans laugh at. Leave us alone.
Jesus Christ the only GOD
