Abstract

As an African American Seventh-Day Adventist clergyman, this writer has struggled with designing a worship service that is rational enough to be accepted by traditional Adventists yet emotional enough to be appreciated by typical African Americans. This project is an historical overview of Seventh-Day Adventist and African religious culture, seeking to extract the principal tenets of each tradition to blend them into a more dynamic worship style that is appealing to the African American community and faithful to the traditions and objectives of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church at the same time. This project suggests that since traditional Black Seventh-Day Adventist public evangelism typically combines 'the truth' (rationality) with rhythm (emotion), by coloring the weekly worship service with these elements, a dynamic worship style could result. Such a style would satisfy the rational and emotive dimensions of the Neo-Pentecostal worship style that is predicted to dominate the African American worship scene for decades to come.
