Panel Discussion | Black Public Womanist Theology

Panelists Lisa Thompson, Candace Shields, Leslie Callahan, and Valerie Cooper, moderated by Tamisha Tyler, respond to questions concerning the theological tradition of womanism and the legacy of womanist scholar Katie Cannon. The panelists discuss embracing one’s particularity and whole self, promoting survival and quality of life, confronting misogyny, and the use of traditional and secular sources in theology.

The Black Public Theology Symposium was held at Fuller Theological Seminary, October 2018. The symposium sought to bring the Black academy and the Black church into dialogue and explore ways to distill Black theology and make it accessible to the Black church and community.
