| Summary: | Charles Price Jones and Charles Harrison Mason nurtured a programme of Black religion, identity, and culture during the formative decades of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements in the United States. This article disentangles the intertwined Black Holiness and Pentecostal traditions in an effort to describe the distinctive worship, lifestyle, and social awareness of Black saints. It considers the redemptive potential of holy Black consciousness to achieve three goals: revitalize Christian unity, restructure a progressive Christian identity, and reconfigure Christian pedagogy to promote resistance of racism and other forms of social injustice Black people experience in the church and society. |
