Join us for a conversation about African spiritual practices and the church. The spiritual practices of Africans were problematized in the enslavement and colonization of African people. Those brought into the Americas as enslaved people carried with them heritage, culture and spiritual practices that were interrupted with the introduction of Christianity and the vilification of African traditions.
