Thrive
Thrive Faith Formation Tip - As we begin Black History Month, let’s take time to explore and reflect on the church’s role in Black history. One way to do this is to commit to learning from voices that have shaped both the Black experience and the broader Christian tradition. For example, choose two Black theologians—one historical and one contemporary—and study how their theological insights have influenced not only Black history but also the life and witness of the institutional church. If you have young children, consider reading one of these picture books together: God’s Very Good Idea by Trillia Newbell or Let it Shine by Ashley Bryan. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Formación en la Fe – Thrive - Al comenzar el Mes de la Historia Negra, tomemos tiempo para explorar y reflexionar sobre el papel de la iglesia en la historia afrodescendiente. Una manera de hacerlo es comprometerse a aprender de voces que han moldeado tanto la experiencia negra como la tradición cristiana en general. Por ejemplo, elija dos teólogos afrodescendientes—uno histórico y uno contemporáneo—y estudie cómo sus ideas teológicas han influido no solo en la historia negra, sino también en la vida y el testimonio de la iglesia institucional. Si tiene niños pequeños, considere leer juntos uno de estos libros ilustrados: La muy buena idea de Dios de Trillia Newbell o Que brille de Ashley Bryan. Presentado por Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
