Abstract

[Whether from personal experience or film and television portrayals, most European Americans know that Sunday services in black Christian churches can be quite lively. Adorned with elegant and colorful garments, worshipers dance, clap, wave, shout, sigh, and sing. Choirs, accompanied by drums, brass, and keyboards, repeatedly build to emotional climax, carrying the people along with them. Pastors call out to the people, exhorting them to enthusiastic response. African American Christians celebrate, lament, pray, and praise the Lord with their bodies.]
