ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the work of a number of Diasporan scholars whose work has played an important role in the ongoing development of Black theology in Britain. The work of such scholars as Ron Nathan, George Mulrain, Michael Jagessar and Emmanuel Lartey (the Founding Father' of Black theology in Britain) illuminate this chapter and offer an inter-cultural and international scope to Black theology in Britain. The first is that music is the servant of theology in that it enhances our understanding of the God who is present and in control of the universe. The chapter takes ideas further and offer a more detailed discussion of transcendence and spirituality, which is crucial to our understanding of pastoral care. Black youths in the United Kingdom reflect the sum total of black cultures which originate in Africa and the African Diaspora.
