Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Overcome”, a liturgy of black remembrance modeled on the Jewish Passover. The awesome history of the passage since capture in Africa invites comparison with the Hebrew exodus and even the Holocaust. Instead of recoiling from the hypercharged distinctions on both sides, scholars might do well to follow the lead of Father Bramble and of Julius Lester...” Twenty-one years have now passed since the Civil Rights Movement was consummated in the death (sacrifice) of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King was concerned about this question: "Where do we go from here?" He addressed that issue in economic and political terms in 1967. This book is also concerned about that very question. Where do we go from here? But its answer is different, in the first instant. I believe that the first move out of the "crossroads" or dilemma that is suggested by this question about direction must be essentially conceptual. For there is no lack of programs, activities or even money in the black communities of America. We have enough of those. The lack resides elsewhere and the solution, as this book will indicate, is rather simple. But, it does not reside in programs, economics or things material. It is a "conceptual" solution that is needed and that will be offered in this book. This book is not written to become one among many others that treat black problems, but it is written with the intent that it will serve to change the character and stature of blacks the world over. It seeks to change character, not by changing the name blacks are called or call each other one more time, but by simply adding to the repertoire of black thinking certain essential concepts that are missing—concepts about triumph, winning—the Overcome. Some would immediately think that this book is simply playing with words. Wrong. One cannot think without concepts. Concepts are more than words alone. They carry descriptions, prescriptions, imperatives, conditions, etc. with them, whether spoken or not. For example, to tell someone you love that the "roads outside are icy" gives more than a simple description. There is a silent imperative, a command if you will, to be careful in walking or driving. And anyone who understands the true meaning of icy roads would immediately pick up the hidden imperative. In like manner, when through this book I declare the Overcome for blacks worldwide, I am not simply changing the lyrics of a good and popular hymn or song: "We Shall Overcome." After we establish the Overcome, a black Passover, the character of the black man and woman will change forever. They will now be known as men and women who overcome whatever is negative in their lives or community. The Overcome then becomes a character trait. It is not about money (in the first instance. it will be consequently), but about black propensities, predispositions, tendencies, habits and character. All the missing victory sub-concepts relevant to the black man must now be plugged into the matrix of the super-concept of the Overcome. The black preacher and other leading change agents will need to offer saving content to the black Overcome, ideas that are already present in the community, but which cannot take root until they are incorporated in the shared value of the society. The Overcome will "collect and hold." will interpret and pass on the successes, winnings, triumphs, victories, large and small of the community. The Overcome, which must be celebrated yearly, on April 4 (around Passover and Easter on the day our primary martyr was sacrificed), will guarantee that as other more creative minds get to work on this redeeming concept of the Overcome. The black Overcome like the Jewish Passover marks the beginning (not the end) of a victorious walk into the future.
Download or read book Overcome Rite Liturgy Songs written by Peter W. D. Bramble Ph.D. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Overcome “The Rev. Dr, Peter Bramble, a black Episcopalian of Baltimore, has written a proposed ritual he calls “The Overcome”, a liturgy of black remembrance modeled on the Jewish Passover. The awesome history of the passage since capture in Africa, invites comparison with the Hebrew exodus and even the Holocaust. Instead of recoiling from the hypercharged distinctions on both sides, scholars might do well to follow the lead of Father Bramble and of Julius Lester...” Taylor Branch, 1988 Pulitzer Prize Winner, in New York Times book Review Section, January 14, 1990 “Central to Dr. Bramble’s concept is the notion that Black people are inherently over-comers who triumph over adversity because they have a propensity for greatness. He acknowledges the tremendous problems facing the Black community, but Overcome...institutionalizes a core concept that Blacks have prevailed over their worst days of oppression, but have not realized it because there is no watershed date or ceremony commemorating that moment of triumph...the Black community has long needed a common story that the entire group could share and use to instill a sense of nationhood in both adults and children.” R. B. Jones, Editor, Baltimore Times. “... the book belongs to the general genre of black liberation theology. It is original in conceptualization and thesis...Overcome and liberation when fully understood are present tense positions with a moral imperative to act and to bring to birth...this is not a run of the mill book on religion or a sermon that one can sleep through. Bramble’s basic position is rooted in linguistic philosophy and the work of Gilbert Ryle, in particular, for whom the logical grammar of certain words and concepts has direct implications for the actions they impel.” Howard Fergus, Ph.D. University of The West Indies. The Rev. Dr. Bramble is rector of St. Katherine of Alexandria Episcopa Church in Baltimore, Maryland

Download or read book Bread of Life and Cup of Joy written by Horton Davies and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1999-01-29 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book ventures a fresh look at the Eucharist in ways that draw Christians together rather than divide them. A respected scholar of liturgical history, Horton Davies here explores the Eucharist as memorial, as thanksgiving, as sacrifice, as eschatological banquet, as communion, as mystery, and as liberation and social justice. A separate chapter examines the unitive concept of transignification. Although the book as a whole presents ecumenical perspectives on the bread of life and cup of joy, Davies also looks at areas of disagreement among the partners in ecumenical discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines classic and contemporary Jewish and African American children’s literature Through close readings of selected titles published since 1945, Jodi Eichler-Levine analyzes what is at stake in portraying religious history for young people, particularly when the histories in question are traumatic ones. In the wake of the Holocaust and lynchings, of the Middle Passage and flight from Eastern Europe's pogroms, children’s literature provides diverse and complicated responses to the challenge of representing difficult collective pasts. In reading the work of various prominent authors, including Maurice Sendak, Julius Lester, Jane Yolen, Sydney Taylor, and Virginia Hamilton, Eichler-Levine changes our understanding of North American religions. She illuminates how narratives of both suffering and nostalgia graft future citizens into ideals of American liberal democracy, and into religious communities that can be understood according to recognizable notions of reading, domestic respectability, and national sacrifice. If children are the idealized recipients of the past, what does it mean to tell tales of suffering to children, and can we imagine modes of memory that move past utopian notions of children as our future? Suffer the Little Children asks readers to alter their worldviews about children’s literature as an “innocent” enterprise, revisiting the genre in a darker and more unsettled light.
