Abstract

The project demonstrates how a church based credit union might contribute to Black economic liberation. It develops economic strategies and educational programs that lead to a sense of economic 'koinonia'. These strategies are based on 1) principles of the Deuteronomic covenant community such as stewardship, 2) African traditional community, and 3) Black theology. The Corinthian Baptist Church (Dayton, Ohio) Credit Union implements a consumer education workshop. The project is divided into four segments: 1) Deuteronomic covenant community, 2) community in Black theology, 3) stewardship in Deuteronomic and Black theology, and 4) principles of individual and communal financial management. The project suggests that within the context of a church credit union a consumer education program can bring about an awareness of stewardship, savings and community interdependence.
