Liberation Theology- The Black Round Table

Send us a text

The Tawahedo Church stands as one of Africa's most profound yet overlooked spiritual treasures—a living connection to ancient wisdom that has survived millennia of external pressure. In this deeply moving conversation with Mehret, an Eritrean educator and cultural preservationist, we journey through the rich history of East African spirituality and its connection to Black identity worldwide.Mehret shares her remarkable personal story of growing up during Eritrea's liberation struggle, walking for two months to escape war, and eventually bringing her cultural knowledge to diaspora communities. Her mastery of five languages—Tigrinya, Amharic, Arabic, English, and Spanish—reflects the complex cultural tapestry of the Horn of Africa region.We explore the Ge'ez language, at least 6,000 years old and still functional today, with characters directly connected to Kemetic hieroglyphs. This isn't just academic knowledge—it's living evidence of African cultural continuity that challenges colonial narratives. As Mehret powerfully states, "I didn't know white people had anything to do with Christianity until I came here."The conversation takes us through pivotal historical moments, from Queen Amanirenas who successfully fought against Roman invasion to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD that attempted to Europeanize African spiritual traditions. We examine how the Tawahedo principle of divine oneness transcends religious boundaries, having been instrumental in unifying Christian and Muslim communities during Eritrea's struggle for independence.Perhaps most moving is Mehret's description of cultural practices like the coffee ceremony—a ritual that transforms a simple beverage into profound spiritual communion through three symbolic servings. These everyday practices represent how ancient wisdom continues to nurture community healing.Whether you're interested in African spiritual traditions, the true history of Christianity's development, or pathways to cultural reconnection, this conversation offers invaluable insights. Join us in exploring how reclaiming these traditions can help us heal collectively from historical trauma while celebrating the resilience of African wisdom.
