| Résumé: | This paper explores the intersections of African derived religions and evangelical, Protestant Christianity, which gives rise to the notion of multiple religious belonging. Utilizing the concept of Complex Subjectivity, from the work of Anthony Pinn, this paper seeks to articulate African Caribbean religiosity as a complex amalgam of diffuse perspectives and sources, emanating from Europe and Africa. Complex subjectivity, is the quest for a more amplified and self-determined notion of selfhood that is the antithesis of fixed identity and objectification. The second part of the paper outlines a creative, innovative and interdisciplinary approach to conscientizing ordinary Black people in Britain. This approach is one I have termed participative Black theology. This work seeks use this methodological approach in order to reflect on the heterogeneous development of Black Christian identity that has never been pure or determinedly and dogmatically rigid as often exemplified by normative evangelical Protestantism. |
