When people think of Eastern Orthodoxy, they often think of ancient traditions, incense, Greek culture, and so forth. Rarely is "African American Spirituality" on the list. That's why, when I heard of Fr. Paul Abernathy's book, The Prayer of a Broken Heart: An Orthodox Christian Reflection on African American Spirituality, I was instantly intrigued. In this video, Fr. Paul and I discuss everything from the history of African American spirituality to St. Moses the Black to the overlaps between Orthodoxy and African American Spirituality. It's a fascinating conversation, and likely one you haven't heard elsewhere.
