- In this film, filmmaker Anika Gibbons '13 takes a deeper look at the radical spirituality and scholarship within the lives of the founding mothers of Womanist theology and Womanist ethics. She focuses on their significance as African-American theology and history, and on the role played by Union in that founding.
Even today your shared views are impacting us all. I appreciate and benefit from your work. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this! It's perfect for introducing Womanist theology to my undergraduate students.
I am so grateful for our elders ❤
"Tell it anyway." 💜
that part hittt
I’m a first year seminary student and a new student of womanist theology. This video is a great addendum to my introduction to this field of study.
Thank you Ms. Gibbons and the pioneers whose voices are amplified in this video. I honor your work and the ones who have gone before me on the path of ministry.
My thanks to the pioneers who have smoothed the way for women like me!
My theology does not align with this theology. But I find it very interesting. There’s a certain beauty to it that I admire.
Truth is more than science. I trust science and honor truth. Thank you.
What a beautiful and powerful story! Thank you!
Profoundly inspiring. Thank you!
Very well done!
Posted the link to my "Jesus and Liberation" course. Thank you!
Thank you for giving me an expanded perspective!
Thank you very much for making this video. I didn't even have an understanding of womanism until my former teacher sent me a link based on womanism which he had invited me to listen and grasp the understanding of the theme. ( thanks for that my former tutor). I certainly didn't realise it was based on black woman experience in the community and the wider field of society whether that be in a professional or everyday community challengers. And that fact it was written by Alice walker, I am ponding where have I been. Thank you once again for uploading and educating me that to my tutor and the programme I have watched. We are never to old to learn new things.
MAY I USE THE FIRST MINUTE OF THIS CLIP?
Does anyone know where I can watch the full 50-minute documentary?
Wow! Very inspirational and informative!
Bajzelj's Rlst118 course sent me here... ( '_')
My main critique of womanists theology (though I am new to it) is that it seems eisegetical in its hermeneutic.
Yup
damn....
8 years later and Black women are rising even more with the help of Jesus christ
What I learned from this video:
1) experience trumps the Bible
2) inner light trumps divine Revelation
3) if the Bible contradicts personal belief, belief wins
4) liberation has to do with freedom from oppression in this life moreso than liberation from sin
Basically, this video presents the same thing in different ways several times.
The Bible must be reinterpreted constantly in line with your own subjective experience
@@user-em5bl9je3u or should our subjective beliefs be made more objective by the unchanging Word?
Yup. All about self. Nothing about the Bible. That’s what this school does best. APOSTASY
Theologies of this type will lead straight to hell!! Apostate!
I gain nothing out of that information at all
By choice
This is a false or heretical teaching.
Weak minded coward
Heretical to white andale superiority sure
It’s sad because I have empathy for the people in this video. But they follow the heart and not the scripture. This is at the core of the apostasy that is progressive Christianity. You see a gay person. You know they are a good human being to you. Because you don’t want it to be that they have to deal and atone with that particular sin you just change your whole theology to match your own heart. You start off good. And end terribly. Truthfully the progressive church should just remove the word Christianity from its title. It’s essentially secular humanism with a mystical twist.
”All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,“
2 Timothy 3:16
”The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?“
Jeremiah 17:9
But unfortunately I don’t think these folks read the Bible anymore anyways.
Have you utilised the Wesleyan quadrilateral in your critique of womanist Theology?
No. Because I do not subscribe to that particular type of theological deliberation. I believe Sola Scriptura is the only way to have objectively sound biblical theology. When the other things are added to the mix it gets muddied and eventually the theology ends up being more about the individual than God. This is evidenced by the current state of the UMC.
Sola scripture is open to abuses, if we follow sola scripture, and what point does it become dominated by a de facto or de jure people groups? Same with language and the notion of loci, there will always be a group that dominates and thus marginalises.
Not if the Bible is read and studied properly. A true born again follower of Christ doing proper exegesis would not use the text to abuse anyone. What’s happening now and we see it in the progressive “Christian” church is eisegesis on a grand scale in order to be as inclusive as possible. It’s reading self into the text. Anything and I mean anything can be abused. But if someone plays Beethoven badly do we blame Beethoven? No. And the same must be true of scripture. We know God as ultimate authority and the Bible is his divine word revealed to us. We must submit to its authority. That means taking the time to study it properly and read everything in context and as a whole. So I would rather submit to the Bible as the revealed Word of God and study dutifully than read myself into the text to somehow make it for me and deny the parts that are difficult to understand. I’d rather do the work and handle Gods word rightly than be an apostate. Especially as we are called to disciple people. The punishment will be worse for teachers.
8:26 Gee, maybe those other heretical theologies weren't addressing the "issues" you wanted answered because Jesus never addressed them either. Maybe it's time to have God set the agenda and have His word guide you instead of you inventing your own issues and passing off your utilitarian sociology as "theology."
How about you not use your bias to attempt to tak away from people's lived experience
She said just because she has no factual evidence so no one would believe it it's true ? I got around 10 more points contrarian to this video but that was so early in the video it stuck to me . I guess facts are Male interpretations on the truth . Create a space of empowerment not just to contrast the men who you feel have wronged you. Womanism sounds like black women feminism. Study the sister women in arms . Check her birth rate marriage rate divorce rate . Oops those are facts . There I go female bashing again . I apologize. Facts are not allowed .
