The black church tradition is theologically centered in Moses, not Paul. As such, old Covenant Theology has been a more sustainable home for blacks than the "5 Solas/Sovereignty" Calvinism which tends to confuse God's sovereignty with "white Sovereignty."
Covenant theology points to Israel's vulnerabilities vs. God's faithfulness. Nehemiah 9:2-3 is easier to do(if "you weren't there"). The number for blacks who've left Reformed evangelicalism generally came through 5 Solas/Sovereignty. From Xian hip hop to seminaries. #Predictable
For the record, I've been saying this for 26 years as I watch the revolving door of black guys come in (excitement, they get celebrated, then the gaps come) & eventually leave. Year after year. Same narrow focus on Pauline soteriology, same Moses results. Onwuchekwa. Who's next?
