Howard Thurman, an important 20th century Black Theologian, once argued that “the slave undertook the redemption of the religion that the master had profaned in his midst.” Doing so, Thurman pointed to the important influence that the suffering of African Americans had on Black Christianity.

At 7:00 PM on July 15th, the Ventura County Interfaith Community will gather at Bethel African American Episcopal Church (855 S F St, Oxnard, CA 93030). There, Bethel’s pastor, Rev. Benjamin Thomas will discuss the ways that the African American experience has differentiated Black Christianity from other branches of Christianity.
