This is the mecca.
Hampton is the gathering ecumenically of every African American clergy, of every denomination and reformation across the entire country.
This is the best of the Black church experience.
From hymn singing, to anthems, to spirituals, to gospel, and then to the cadence of Black preaching.
What is the relationship between preaching and music in the Black church?
Music is not separate from the preaching.
Music is preparation for the preaching moment.
Music is preaching in song because it should have theology.
But I think that some sermons are saved on the wings of melody.
