We live in a time of fragmentation, fear, and fatigue. We desire a vision that can navigate these complex issues prudently and justly.
In his recently published, Black Contemplative Preaching: A Hidden History of Prayer, Proclamation, and Prophetic Witness, Trey Clark presents the tradition of black contemplative preaching as an untapped well of “wisdom that can help us address the political, ecological, and spiritual challenges of our time.”
In the latest installment of our “Spiritual Formation in Context” series, Michael Di Fuccia, Director of the Cultura Fellowship, and Trey Clark, Assistant Professor of Preaching and Spiritual Formation and Dean of Chapel at Fuller Theological Seminary and co-founder of the Black Contemplative Society, discuss the lives and contemporary relevance of black contemplative preachers and the “mystical activism” they embodied.
