Expounding and Imagining
My last post was a bout a Center housed at my current church and imagining what that would offer. I'm attempting to list out my thoughts and questions I'd like to address. This is different. I'm thinking of the way I'd write songs and how was used to sitting down and piecing everything together at once. It was later on that I engaged in a process where I'd write a little at a time and come back to it. Some songs came together better over time. I bring all that up to give myself permission to not ideate everything all at once and be open to the process. I want to start with the Black Church. Personally, I'd like to explore the history and legacy as a Black institution. I'd like to explore the Black Church in the Cambridge and Boston area. How the history of Pentecostal Tabernacle and the role that it has played in the community. With this church at present being a multicultural and multiethnic church, how did it get that way? What influenced this shift?
