| Summary: | This article focuses on developing a model of pastoral theology for African Caribbean Diasporan people. Such a theology is developed by reflecting on the history, dislocation and resettlement of a people throughout the world whose African origins were conceived, enacted and sustained by violence. Given the sustained epoch of violent dehumanization on the plantations in the Caribbean, the psychological and emotional remnants of such brutality continue to this day. Interpersonal conflict for African Caribbean people can take on a real and hostile reality. An African Caribbean pastoral theology begins with taking seriously and giving voice to the experience of enslavement. Given the depth and enduring legacy of such trauma, participation of the Eucharist is recognized as a possible means of healing in this present life. |
