Description: INTRODUCTION TO THE BLACK CHURCH IN THE UNITED STATES ***** Much of what has historically taken place within Black communities has been shaped by and initiated through Black Christian churches. As the first institutions in the U.S. developed and controlled by Black Americans, these churches are major resources for those interested in understanding religious expression and socio-political activism within the Black community. This course provides an introduction into the history, thought, and worship of the major Black denominations. Offered with additional work as RELI 542.
