Abstract

[When our church’s new crucifix—a glowing ebony Christ on a beautiful wooden cross—was unveiled, the largely African American congregation murmured and nodded with approval, admiration and gratitude. Like all Christians, black Catholics need to see themselves in Christ, in the body Christians love, worship, and seek to imitate above all others. The black Christ embodies their hopes, their striving, and their salvation. He shows them, as nothing else can, that they are made in the image of God.]
