| Resumo: | This essay affirms black theology as a survival theology that speaks with passion that is commensurate with the suffering of the oppressed. By juxtaposing two ecclesial meetings in the U.S., one in 1866 and one in 2019, the author describes inattention to the lives of former bondspersons and those of poor and disenfranchised African Americans in Baltimore. Finally, through the lens of synodality, opportunities to journey with unlikely travellers open up and provide the space for the sharing of painful stories so that empathy welcomes truth-telling and all choose to continue the dialogue in truth. |
