Abstract
In this paper I would like to discuss the effects of color symbolism in the spirituality of third-world Christians. By third-world Christians, I mean dark-skinned Christians. Among these I include Black American Christians. A characteristic feature of third-world Christians is their poverty and state of oppression. Oppression is not merely a material state for them but also a spiritual one. In other words, it is not merely economic
and politicial but also psychological and mental.
