Why I Sing Amazing Grace: The African-American Worship Experience


The call to worship can vary by denomination, but many of the same spiritual traditions have lived in the black church for centuries.

WTIU-TV celebrates Black History Month this February with a panel discussion centered around a half-hour documentary entitled Why I Sing Amazing Grace: The African-American Worship Experience. The documentary and discussion will explore topics of spirituality, rituals, powers, and leadership in the black church.

Panelists include:

Dr. Michael Joseph Brown, Wabash College
Rev. Dennis Laffoon, Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Bloomington, IN
John Strauss, Ball State University
Rev. Sharon White, New Hope United Methodist Church, Anderson, IN
