Abstract

Twenty-first century challenge to organized faith communities, i.e. increased transience and decreasing church affiliation are challenging some local faith communities' ability to thrive. Congregants of one local historically black church, however, appropriated biblical and African American voices as prototypical sources of 'faith' to guide the church's response to those challenges. Thus this project examined how this historically black congregation thrived as a result of the use of Hagar's story and 19th century spiritual autobiographies of former black slaves in the African American diaspora of 1700 to 1899, influenced spiritual development and produced leaders among its female congregants.
