ABSTRACT
This chapter offers a brief vignette of the dramatic impulse of Black preaching, which lies at the heart of the practical theological method of Black theology in Britain. Preaching remains a key element of Christian practice within Black Churches in Britain. In fact, across the wider contours of the African Diaspora, preaching remains a key theological task for pastors, ministers, priests, deacons, lay readers or local preachers. Within the Black milieu where aspects of Black cultural and religious practices are evident, it is not unusual to encounter explicit or implicit examples of a phenomenon many scholars have termed call and response. Within the broad field that is defined as Practical theology, Homelitics or the theology of preaching is seen as one of the important areas of study. Christian faith is not merely propositional nor consists only of existential musings.
