Abstract

Prayer in the African American community as a vehicle to implement political, religious and social transformation was explored in this project. The historical roots of prayer through African traditional religions and the Bible were examined. The theological and functional disciplines of prayer were integrated through a field study of non-academic devotional literature. A review of denominational hymnals of National Baptist, African Methodist Episcopal and Church of God in Christ was included. Finally, prayers from literature and the arts, mass meetings, music, and devotions/worship experiences were cited. Liberation themes emphasizing socio-political transformation were the central focus.
