ABSTRACT

This chapter contains the work of Valentina Alexander, Kate Coleman and Lorraine Dixon plus a more recent and hugely promising voice, Maxine Howell Baker. This is an important chapter and contribution to the overall narrative of Black theology in Britain. Given the ways in which Black women have been marginalized within Historic and Black-led churches, and in order to assert an anti-hegemonic and anti-androcentric framework for this text, the chapter have included additional extracts. One of the challenges faced in constructing this chapter has been to identify the appropriate nomenclature for Black British women's theological output. The character of Womanist pneumatological pedagogy (WPP) is Womanist because of its primary focus on ordinary Black women and their love of self, others and the Spirit, as well as its multi-dialogical and didactic intents.
