SUMMARY:African Americans and the Bible Book Study
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays in April from 6-7:30 pm on Zoom\nJoin the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio this April for an engaging and transformative formation opportunity: African Americans and the Bible. \nThis four-week study invites participants into a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural relationship between African Americans and Holy Scripture. Grounded in The Talking Book by Allen Dwight Callahan\, this course explores how African Americans encountered\, interpreted\, proclaimed\, and embodied the Bible in the midst of enslavement and the ongoing struggle for freedom and dignity. \nFor generations\, the Bible has been more than a sacred text in African American communities—it has been a source of hope\, resistance\, identity\, spiritual wrestling\, and spiritual power. Together\, we will examine how this “talking book” has shaped faith\, worship\, preaching\, and public witness. Participants will gain a richer appreciation for Scripture as it has been read and lived through the cultural lens of African Americans\, broadening and deepening their own engagement with the Word of God. \nWhether you are clergy\, a lay leader\, or someone seeking to grow in faith and understanding\, this study offers space for learning\, reflection\, and meaningful conversation. Come ready to listen\, to learn\, and to encounter the Bible anew. We look forward to walking this journey together. \n\nQuestions about this event and program?\n\nContact the Rev. Aaron Rogers\, missioner for Black ministries\, at arogers@diosohio.org. \nRegistration \nThere is no cost for this program and no deadline to register. The first ten people to register will receive a complimentary copy of The Talking Book by Dr. Callahan. \nREGISTER HERE
