Thea Bowman: The Courage To Keep On Keeping On!, Maurice J. Nutt C.Ss.R.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
The year 2010 marks another anniversary, this one more somber than the others. Sister Thea Bowman, F.S.P.A., Ph.D., after a great deal of suffering, finally lost her battle to cancer in 1990. Her zest for living, her profound spirituality, and her joy marked all those who had the honor of knowing her. Here are two reflections on her life and influence, the first by Cyprian Davis, O.S.B. who worked with Sr. Thea at the Institute for Black Catholic Studies, and the second by one of her former students, Maurice Nutt, C.Ss. R., D.Min.

The Decline Of Black Catholicism: What’S Racial Slavery To Do With It?, Kwame Assenyoh S.V.D.
The Decline Of Black Catholicism: What’S Racial Slavery To Do With It?, Kwame Assenyoh S.V.D.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
This essay links the current decline of black Catholicism to the racial slavery practiced in Roman Catholicism at its settlement in the USA. Employing missiological anthropological analysis, Assenyoh, S.V.D., argues that the racism that characterized the beginning of New World slavery remains in the Church and accounts for the decline of black Catholicism. Assenyoh calls for persistent critiques of racial slavery in the Church’s history if there must be transformation rather than reformation.
“Righteous Discontent:” Black Catholic Protest In The United States Of America, 1817-1941, Diane Batts Morrow
“Righteous Discontent:” Black Catholic Protest In The United States Of America, 1817-1941, Diane Batts Morrow
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this essay, based on a paper delivered at the 2009 Annual Meeting at the Atlanta University Center, Morrow shows the awareness of black Catholics about their position within the Catholic Church between the years 1817 and the 1940s and their struggle to improve their situation. Black Catholics from this period show a strong desire to function as agents of positive change in their Church, and to challenge discrimination within their parishes.

The Flames Of Namugongo: Issues Around Theological Narrativity, Heteronormativity, Globalization, And Aids In Africa, Ken Hamilton S.V.D
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Hamilton’s paper, delivered during the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago, uses the hagiography of Charles Lwanga and the Martyrs of Uganda to reveal an unrelenting problem of the Church – the ways in which the assumptions of heternormativity and sodomitical discourse drown out the voices of those who do not fall into heteronormative sexual and/or gendered identities, and lead to the open persecution, imprisonment, and torture of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons in Uganda, and in fact all over Africa. Casting those with ‘othered’ sexual identities as evil, or even simply turning a deaf ear to the persecution faced …
A Year Of Extremes, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
A Year Of Extremes, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
What an incredible year! A year of almost inconceivable highs, and lows that bore down into our very beings, the time since we met last October has filled us with high hopes as well as dark fears. These conflicted realities are reflected both in our lives and in our work. For most BCTS members, indeed, for most Americans, the election of our first African American president was one of the most significant moments of our lives. I’ll never forget when Obama was declared victor shortly after 11:00 pm EST on November 4, 2008. As late as it was, I picked …
Voices From The Margins: African Women’S Hermeneutics, James Chukwuma Okoye C.S.Sp.
Voices From The Margins: African Women’S Hermeneutics, James Chukwuma Okoye C.S.Sp.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this article delivered during the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Okoye describes several landmarks in African biblical interpretation from the various lenses of race, class, and gender. From the early days of a culturally-sensitive African hermeneutics in the 1960s, to modern popular readings of the Bible, to women’s unique readings of the shades of meaning therein, Okoye focus on the intersection points of biblical and cultural interpretation and the ways a marginalized people have found meaning in the Bible.

Code Black: A Black Catholic Liberation Bioethics, Shawnee M. Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D.
Code Black: A Black Catholic Liberation Bioethics, Shawnee M. Daniels-Sykes S.S.N.D.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Based on a paper delivered during the 2008 Annual Meeting in Chicago, Daniels-Sykes, S.S.N.D., proposes that the long history of neglect and abuse suffered by blacks at the hands of the health care industry results from entrenched assumptions fostered by Western philosophies and principles that guide mainstream medical ethics, particularly in light of the 1979 Belmont Report, produced in response to the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study. That the report failed to take into consideration the circumstances of poverty and race, factors key to our understanding those victimized by the Study, underscores the prevailing implicit assumptions of black inferiority. Daniels-Sykes advises …

What A Difference A Year Makes, Cecilia Moore
What A Difference A Year Makes, Cecilia Moore
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
I’d like to reflect briefly on the election of President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joseph Biden in 2008 and their inauguration in January 2009, on the historical significance of the election, and my hopes for cooperation between the Black Catholic community and the Obama Administration in working for social justice. On January 20, 2009, I joined my sister, Margaret, my brother, Mark, and a million or more of our fellow citizens on the nation’s Mall to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice-President Joseph Biden. In freezing temperatures, without access to restrooms for more than 14 hours, and …

Thirty Years Of Fellowship: A Retrospective, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
Thirty Years Of Fellowship: A Retrospective, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
2008 is an exciting year for the BCTS. The fact that we’ve survived as long as we have is nothing short of a miracle. In 1978 our organization included thirty-four members, thirty of whom were clerics. Several were graduate students trying to complete their PhD dissertations. Today, we are assistant, associate, and full professors, canon lawyers, and even bishops, although there are still a few graduate student associate members. Slightly more of us are lay members than clergy. We are theologians, historians, social scientists, natural scientists, classicists, philosophers, deans, liturgists, and campus ministers. Some of us are now the leading …
“Poor Fools, Nothing But Bellies” (Theo 26-27): Eating Imagery In Hesiod As Personification Of Oppression, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
“Poor Fools, Nothing But Bellies” (Theo 26-27): Eating Imagery In Hesiod As Personification Of Oppression, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Delivered during the 1999 meeting at the University of Notre Dame, this paper discusses the symbolic power of food imagery, especially its use in the cultural construction of humanity and in the process of dehumanization of oppressed groups. Tracing the use of food and eating imagery to the early seventh century BCE Greek poet Hesiod, Flint-Hamilton demonstrates the importance of studying early Classical texts to help us better understand modern-day oppression and the legacy of slavery.
The Sources And Meaning Of The Conversion Of Claude Mckay, Cecilia Moore
The Sources And Meaning Of The Conversion Of Claude Mckay, Cecilia Moore
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this paper, delivered during the 2007 annual meeting at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, Moore discusses the conversion experience of the controversial Jamaican poet and novelist Claude McKay. An influential artist of the Harlem Renaissance, McKay was a troubled and complex man. The spiritual journey of this former agnostic is moving and inspirational.
Racial Reconciliation In Christian Ethics: Toward Starting A Conversation, Bryan Massingale
Racial Reconciliation In Christian Ethics: Toward Starting A Conversation, Bryan Massingale
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
In this article, delivered originally in 1998 at Marquette University, the author confronts the reality of racism by introducing the need for racial reconciliation. Addressing such issues as social structures and evangelical approaches to the question of race, Massingale ends with a critique of the approach of Catholic theologians and ethicists to racial justice. In the end, Massingale remarks that for Catholics the legacy of slavery continues to hinder an openness to the reality of Africans and African Americans in the Church and in society.

The Implications Of Critical Race Theory (Crt) On Two Significant Findings Of A Study Of Black Catholics On The Social Frontier, Robert Bartlett
The Implications Of Critical Race Theory (Crt) On Two Significant Findings Of A Study Of Black Catholics On The Social Frontier, Robert Bartlett
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
Delivered during the 2007 meeting at St. Meinrad Archabbey, Bartlett discusses the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) on qualitative research projects involving marginalized persons, particularly African American Catholics in predominantly white parishes. He concludes that CRT calls us to action to end racism. That call must be heard especially by Catholic Church leadership.

1807-2007: Whose Bicentennial And Whose Abolition?, Cyprian Davis O.S.B.
Journal of the Black Catholic Theological Symposium
This paper, the keynote address of the 2007 annual meeting at Saint Meinrad Archabbey and Seminary, delineates the events leading to the 1807 abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain and traces the roots and significance of this historic event for the Church. Davis demonstrates that the complex relationship between the Church and slavery continues to shape the experiences of Catholics today.
