Society of Gospel haymanot - Annual Meeting

Call for Papers

The Society of Gospel Haymanot (SGH) exists to provide a context for the proliferation and development of academic theology rooted in the Black Church tradition. The SGH offers a collegial environment for the interchange of biblical and theological scholarship with a special emphasis on Black scholars committed to biblical orthodoxy and Black liberation.

The Annual Meeting of the SGH will take place on Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21, 2023. This event serves primarily to provide an academic context for Black faculty and graduate students of religion and theology to build relationships and form a Gospelist theological voice rooted in biblical orthodoxy and Black liberation.

Guidelines

The deadline to submit abstracts is Friday, April 21, 2023. While faculty and students of theological institutions are typically the primary participants, submissions are considered from applicants outside of academic institutions. Similarly, the leadership of SGH subscribes to the SGH Testimony, as do the majority of participants. However, participants of alternative religious and/or theological communities are more than welcome to attend and present at the annual meeting. Such participants are asked to place their research paper in substantial dialogue with the theological perspective of SGH. Please submit an abstract that is no more than 150 words in length. Your paper should be 3,500-4,500 words in length. With your abstract submission, please identify which session your paper best fits in:

- Dersat (Old & New Testament Studies)

- Sankofa (Church History)

- Haymanot (Systematic Theology)

- Ujamaa (Practical Theology)

While various theological disciplines are identified in the conference schedule, interdisciplinarity is strongly invited and encouraged for each session and paper. After your 150-word abstract, please indicate if you subscribe to the SGH Testimony or if you do not. After this, please indicate if you would like your paper to be considered for publication in the Haymanot Journal. Accepted papers will be scheduled into timed paper sessions; unfortunately, special accommodations or requests for presenting at specific times are not possible. Therefore, applicants should prepare for their presentation to take place at any point during the conference. Please indicate if any of the following are needed:

-A/V

-Projector

-White Board

For any inquiries, please contact:

admin@meachum.org

The SGH Annual Meeting will be open for attendance to any interested participants. The admission fee for the annual meeting—which is waived for speakers—is $75.00 (the fee is $30.00 for graduate students and adjunct faculty).

Gospel Haymanot

Haymanot Journal Volume 1

A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLORATION OF HOW THE BLACK CHURCH TRADITION – GOSPEL HAYMANOT – SHAPES THE WORLDVIEW OF BLACK THEOLOGIANS.

The primary paradigms that exist in theological academia are rooted in white, Eurocentricity and do not speak to the realities of Black Christians. Though many books critique the problem of white supremacy in evangelicalism, most are focused on reforming this movement without attention to the resources of the Black Church.

Through seven dominant voices in Black academic theology, Gospel Haymanot sheds new light on biblical authority issues, doctrinal orthodoxy, and evangelical theology on justice and liberation. This book introduces ideals ingrained in the Black Church tradition which engage the Black Christian experience.

Gospel Haymanot provides essential framing for Black academics and the broader Church who are committed to biblical orthodoxy and Black liberation.
