Full textIn this dissertation, I analyze the historic and present social conditions of The United Methodist Church within the context of American culture. I also present strategies for reconciliation among estranged Black and White race groups, socioeconomic class groups, gender erotic predisposition groups, and ethnic groups other than Black and White. I use the theoretical lens of Black church interpretive traditions intersecting with Wesleyan theology. J. Deotis Roberts (1971/2005) proclaims, "The black church, in setting black people free, may make freedom possible for white people as well. Whites are victimized as the sponsors of hate and prejudice which keeps racism alive" (p. 33). The Black church is distinct from mainstream American church in that the Black church offers more upbeat and up-tempo worship, rhythmic preaching, gospel songs and spirituals through choirs with improvisational lead singers, call and response interaction between the preacher and the congregation, sermons that held justice and mercy in tension through hope, and worship experiences that are not constrained by time limits. From the Black experience in America, the Black church offers a profound response for existential predicaments related to "life and death, suffering and sorrow, love and judgment, grace and hope, [and] justice and mercy" (McClain, 1990, p. 46). I draw from the statements of priorities of United Methodist theorists (seminaries and theological schools) and practitioners (annual conferences) to critique collective expressed values and behaviors of United Methodists. Also, from congregations in the Western North Carolina (Annual) Conference of The United Methodist Church, I analyze narratives from personal interviews of pastors of congregations that have a different majority race composition than their own, of pastors of multi-ethnic congregations, and of congregants from multi-ethnic congregations. I suggest that the social history and present social conditions of The United Methodist Church are perplexing, particularly concerning Black and White relations. However, The United Methodist Church has the mandate, heritage, responsibility, organizational structure and spiritual capacity to contribute to substantive and sustainable reconciliation in the Church and in American society.

Liberation in White and Black studies, respectively, Washington Memorial Chapel (WMC) and The Church of the Advocate (COA), which are two Episcopal parishes in the Diocese of Pennsylvania. This dissertation investigates the ways that the visual culture of these spaces represents and affects the religious, racial and national self-understanding of these churches and their ongoing operations by offering particular and opposing narrative interpretations of American history. These "sacred spaces" visually describe the United States (implicitly and explicitly) in terms of race and violence in narratives that set them in fundamental opposition to each other, and set a trajectory for each parishes' life that has determined a great deal of its activities over time. I develop this thesis by situating each congregation and its development in the context of the entire history of both the Episcopal Church and Philadelphia as related to race, violence and patriotism. WMC is what historian of religions scholar Jonathan Z. Smith calls a "locative" space and tries to persuade all Americans to patriotically covenant with images of heroic "White" freedom struggle. COA is what Smith calls a "utopian" space and tries to compel its visitors to covenant with a subversive critique of the United States in terms of the parallels between biblical Israel and the African American freedom struggle. My analysis draws especially on the theoretical work of Pierre Bourdieu and David Morgan. A major focus of Pierre Bourdieu's work in both Language and Symbolic Power, and The Logic of Practice is the power of group-making. Group-creating power is often exercised through representations that create a seemingly objective sense of group identity and a social world that is perceived as "natural." David Morgan writes that religious visual culture functions as this sort of political practice through the organization of memory among those who are drawn to "covenant" with images. The Introduction of my dissertation lays out the theoretical approaches informing the visual culture analysis of these Episcopal Churches and raises the significant questions. Three main chapters provide: 1) an historical background of patriotism, race and violence in the Episcopal Church and in Philadelphia in particular, and 2-3) a thorough analysis of the history and visual culture of each space in context. A great deal of my analysis will be interpretive "readings" of the visual culture of the aforementioned churches in their larger contexts to explain how the visual culture represents social classifications to affect the constituents religious, racial and national self-understanding, and their ongoing operations by offering particular and opposing narrative interpretations of American history. The project concludes by summarizing the ways that the analysis of these spaces explicates the thesis with thoughts about the implications for the disciplines involved and further research.

Full textThe present study has the objective of understanding the perception of being black amongst students who dlecare themselves so in order to have acces to undergraduate studies as beneficiaries of political affirmative actions in the University-For-All Program (PROUNI). The research was done with students who attend the Methodist University Center through the observation of their academic activities and individual interviews done in the Institution. Concepts such as race, racism and identity guided the theoretical framework of the research. and the notion of social representations operationalized the interpretation of the students discourses. This research indicates that even being classified as a member of an only black color/race community, the individuals notice their ethnic-racial identity diversely. That becomes evident when they have to criate narratives to explain their identity. Moreover, the socialization processes to which the individuals are submitted in different moments of their lives through the objective reality may modify the perception of their identity.

A presente tese é fruto do diálogo entre a tradição cristã anglicana e a tradição do Batuque, com o objetivo de identificar nas ações educativas e nos processos pedagógicos da Comunidade-Terreiro Ilè Àṣẹ Yemọjá Omi Olodò, elementos teopedagógicos de empoderamento e autonomia das mulheres negras, possibilitando melhores condições para superação da violência de gênero. Sendo seu contexto latino-americano, adota a metodologia de pesquisa própria da Teologia da Libertação (TdL), que tem na tríade ver-julgar-agir seus passos metodológicos. Cada passo é assumido por um dos três capítulos que compõem o texto, sendo possível ver o cenário das religiões afro-brasileiras e afro-gaúchas, com foco especial na única tradição de matriz africana no Rio Grande do Sul: o Batuque, bem como apresentar as características do papel das mulheres nesse complexo religioso. São apresentados também um panorama da história do Ilè e a descrição das suas ações educativas e dos seus processos pedagógicos. O embasamento teórico da pesquisa parte das conceituações de gênero, violência de gênero, violência contra as mulheres negras, etnicidade e religião, para assegurar suas relações a partir da compreensão de uma interseccionalidade emergente, que tem na tradição e na ancestralidade aspectos afrocentrados para julgar a realidade de violência de gênero contra as mulheres negras. Na sequência, é feita a análise, numa perspectiva afrocentrada, de depoimentos de cinco mulheres negras e da liderança do Terreiro, a partir da qual foi possível identificar o alimento que alimenta a ancestralidade como processo civilizatório de (re)fundação da humanidade como elementos teopedagógicos que podem contribuir para o fortalecimento das ações para superação da violência de gênero contra as mulheres negras.
The current thesis is a fruit of the dialog between the Anglican Christian tradition and the Batuque tradition, with the goal of identifying within the educational actions and the pedagogical processes of the Terreiro Community Ilè Àṣẹ Yemọjá Omi Olodò, theo-pedagogical elements of empowerment and autonomy of the black women, making it possible to have better conditions to overcome gender violence. Since its context is Latin American, it adopts the research methodology that is specific to Liberation Theology, which has as its methodological steps the triad see-judge-act. Each step is dealt with by one of the three chapters which make up the text, being that it is possible to see the scenario of the Afro-Brazilian and Afro-Gaúcho religions with a special focus on the only African matrix tradition in Rio Grande do Sul: the Batuque, as well as to present the characteristics of the role of the women in this religious complex. A panorama of the history of the Ilè and the description of its educational actions and its pedagogical processes are presented. The theoretical base of the research stems from the conceptualizations of gender, gender violence, violence against black women, ethnicity and religion, to assure their relations based on the comprehension of an emerging intersectionalism, which has, within the tradition and ancestry, Afro-centered aspects with which to judge the reality of gender violence against black women. In sequence, an analysis is made from an Afro-centered perspective, of the testimonies of five black women and of the leader of the Terreiro, from which it was possible to identify the food which feeds the ancestry as a civilizational process of (re)founding humanity with theo-pedagogical elements which can contribute to the strengthening of the actions for overcoming gender violence against black women.
