Black Church in Detroit series examines Black presence in the Bible and “Faith in Detroit”

Season 54 Episode 8

Our “Black Church in Detroit” series looks at the African presence in the Bible. We’ll examine the historical evidence that challenges the idea that the biblical text is solely focused on Europeans. Also, we’ll have details on a new project titled “Faith in Detroit,” which encourages Metro Detroiters to share stories about faith and resilience.
