Anthony Smith on the Blues, Race, Religion, and Politics
The discussion of “Race and the Emerging Church” may have dropped off the homepage of emergentvillage.com, but it certainly shouldn’t drop off our theological and ecclesiological radars.
In a new interview posted today, Anthony Smith (a.k.a. Postmodern Negro, who was featured in Tony Jones’ book The New Christians) talks with Tripp Fuller and Chad Crawford about a wide range of subjects, including: what it means to be a “blues people” (his topic at this summer’s Cornerstone Festival), who he’s voting for today in the North Carolina primary (and why), his affinity for the “Hauerwasian mafia”, what he loves about Emergent Village, how to address “racial imperialism” in the Church, and more.

why isn’t emergent village promoting on their website the envision ‘08 conference at princeton university (they are one of the sponsors) which is incredibly diverse in race and well-represented by women? i think it’s great you’re blogging more about these issues, but emergent village really needs to step up and use the incredible influence they have to bring awareness and change to issues regarding race and gender.
