- Abstract
- The objective of this paper is to develop an African-American model for doing funeral sermons. The author uses the West African oral traditions of storytelling as practiced by the West African griot to develop the images of pastor/griot and the preacher/griot. Using these images and the Emmaus Road story found in Luke 24:13-35, the author develops the Emmaus Road model for pastoral care and the formation of the funeral sermon. The model illustrates the unique way the preacher/griot can develop a funeral sermon that brings comfort to the bereaved by reframing death through the lens of resurrection.
