African-American Worship: Faith Looking Forward

Abstract

At a rapidly advancing rate, more people of faith are seeking churches according to the style of worship and music rather than differences in denominational doctrines or geographical locations. Amidst the steadily growing traditional churches, the movement toward mega-churches, meta-churches, and parachurch organizations continues at a phenomenal rate. Each organizational structure requires a different approach to the shaping and nurturing of Christian faith as consideration is given to twenty-first century diversities of lifestyles and cultures. In each instance, there is evidence of established faith traditions set forth from biblical times and a concern for new expressions of “Faith Looking Forward" toward new centuries.
