African American Worship

Preaching & Worship

“As one touched by his ministry as a Bishop greatly concerned about the worship life of congregations, I can attest to the depth of his interest in sharing a new vision for the liturgical life of the AME Church in particular, and the ecumenical church in general. I highly endorse and recommend African American Worship: New Eyes for Seeing. Without a doubt, this document will become a valuable textbook and resource for teachers and students in seminaries. It is written in a such a way that it can serve as a helpful resource for individuals and groups preparing for ministry--pastors, as well as lay persons.”
