| Summary: | This paper is an attempt to explore how the UK African and Caribbean Diaspora might flourish by focusing more on self-agency. Drawing upon Black Pentecostal and Black theological concepts, the paper highlights, exilic identity, settlement and growth, welfare and prayer and prophetic truth as fecund with ideas towards Black self-determination in the diaspora. These are drawn from Old Testament prophet Jeremiah’s letter to Jewish exiles in Babylon in sixth-century BCE that suggests a framework for flourishing and resisting empire. This is a quasi-autobiographical approach that utilises the writer’s experience and research as a Black Pentecostal and ecumenist, Black theologian, and a member of the UK African and Caribbean Diaspora for over five decades. |
