In I'm Black. I'm Christian. I'm Methodist, edited by Rudy Rasmus, ten Black women and men explore life through the lens of compelling personal religious narratives. They are people and leaders whose lives are tangible demonstrations of the power of a divine purpose and evidence of what grace really means in face of hardship, disappointment, and determination. Features the writing of Tori C. Butler, Rodney L. Graves, Lillian C. Smith, Erin Beasley, Justin Coleman, Jevon A. Caldwell-Gross, Pamela R. Lightsey, F. Willis Johnson, Vance P. Ross, and Rudy Rasmus. Each of the journeys intersect because of three central elements that are the focus of this book. We're Black. We're Christians. We're Methodists. Each starts with the fact, 'I'm Black,' but to resolve the conflict of being Christian and Methodist means confronting aspects of White theology, White supremacy, and White racism in order to ground an oppositional experience toward domination over four centuries in America.
