Lisa Fields - championing black voices in theology and apologetics
Lisa Fields is the founder of The Jude 3 Project - an organisation helping the Christian community know what they believe and why they believe it with a strong emphasis in equipping those of African descent in the United States and abroad.
Lisa founded the organisation after encountering significant intellectual challenges to her own faith. Belle and Justin find out what answers she discovered, the unique challenges that people of colour face when it comes to Christian faith, and how we can re-enchant the voice of black Christians in the world of theology and apologetics.

There’s more to life than the world we can see. Re-Enchanting is a podcast from Seen & Unseen recorded at Lambeth Palace Library, the home of the Centre for Cultural Witness. Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall engage faith and spirituality with leading figures in science, history, politics, art and education. Can our culture be re-enchanted by the vision of Christianity?

Gracias.
The darker it gets, the brighter we get to shine - amen! Thanks 🙏🏼
I'm native american and this is one of the biggest obstacles on the reservations amongst native americans. It's seen as a white man's religion and is vehemently opposed by many. I always try to bring up what jesus said, "you believe in God, believe also in me.". I try to tell my native brothers and sisters that the Christian God is the God of Natives too, and God travelled across time and space to get the message to us as well. He is our God too. He is the God our ancestors worshipped, and he stepped into time and space to bring us home too.
Well one of the First Christian Kingdoms was Ethiopia, another interesting example was the kingdom of Congo which became Catholic I believe 500 yeas ago and remained independent for 300 years. These examples are not directly related to the US but they are examples of centuries old traditional African Christian communities and cultures that exist to this day

Yes indeed. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Egyptian Coptic and Greek Orthodox churches are some of the oldest in the world. Founded by Christ’s apostles themselves. Some of the oldest and most prolific ancient (pre Roman Catholic) Christian saints are from Africa.
Ideas stand and fall on their own merit. Doesn't matter what color the person they come from is. That's something you learn from basic logic. "Championing black voices" is just upper class speak for "I pity these people." It's a shame to see even people like this still be infected wokeness, but I guess it just speaks to how much deeper these ideas are routed in our culture. Ultimately, they are an inevitable consequence of enlightenment principles, and as long as people can't understand that, they will continue to fail to escape them.

The Bible says: there is no Jews or Greek Roman which means in front of GOD eyes we are equal, but in Islam allah says that all black people will go to hell and he doesn't care and the judgment day only people with white face will enter "heaven " , watch the nightmare of allah Mohammed and Islam Christian Prince, Ahmad ex Muslim, Rob Christian, David wood, Speaker Corner, Cira international and see what Quran really teaches and don't be deceived by the lies of Islam and share with all the people that you can and protect and help your future family from the perversions of Islam
