Abstract
The contents of this article are an attempt to lift up the unique aspect of pastoral care in the black church. The unique emphasis in black pastoral care is a perspective which has been shaped by the existential, cultural, and historical conditions which are peculiar to black people. This perspective reflects the cultural heritage of black people, its history as a people in a land of injustice, racism and segregation, and its struggle as a Christian people to make sense out of their existence in a hostile environment.
