Perspectives: Black Theologian Day

"I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat”

Matthew 25:35

Jesus calls each of us as individuals and churches to participate in repairing communities that are broken. Hunger tears at the heart of healthy communities and Black communities experience higher rates of food insecurity due to social, economic, and environmental challenges. In 2020, 24% of Black individuals experienced food insecurity - more than three times the rate of white households.

This year's guest theologian is Professor Kyle Brooks, who is Assistant Professor of Homiletics, Worship, and Black Church and African Diasporic Studies at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio.
