Ancient African Christianity, The Black Church & Dismantling White Supremacy - Dr. Vince Bantu

We have the honor to learn from Dr. Vince Bantu about ancient African theology and the beautiful Christian tradition that emerged in Africa -- and how Christianity and spiritual traditions from this region reveals how Christianity is not a product of the Western world.

He also discusses the need for ethnic representation in our churches, the sins and destructive impact of systemic racism and white supremacy in our church history, ways for us to better support our Black and Brown church communities during times of tragedy and trauma, and the powerful faith and example that our Black church has set for all Christians. He also shares ways that parents can help raise anti-racist children.

Dr. Vince Bantu is a professor of Church History and Black Church Studies at Fuller Seminary.

He earned his PhD in Semitic and Egyptian languages from the Catholic University of America and also earned a Master of Divinity from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, THM in church history from Princeton Seminary and undergraduate degree in theology from Wheaton College.

He is also the author of the book entitled “A Multitude of All Peoples: Engaging Ancient Christianity’s Global Identity” published by Intervarsity Press.
