Whitely Sr

This dissertation is primarily written for the concerns of African American Ministry. I will discuss topics relating to the African American Church. In addition to that its history and the struggles of African Americans living in a culture that has oppressed African Americans for years. Finally, I will share positive contributions of African Americans from a theological and social stand point. In my reading and research of African Americans, the Black Church has been a positive institution of strength and survival for African Americans.

Meet the Author Theodore D. Whitely, Sr. Ted grew up in the State of West Virginia, his formative years in the State of Ohio, and most of his adult life in the State of Michigan. Coming from a family of 9 children, he was inspired by his parents Arthur and Luella Whitely to get an adequate education. He did thus so. Having a background in religion, divinity, pastoral counseling, and African American Ministry qualifies him to write this book of the struggles, triumphs and the joy of the Lord in the victorious achievements of African Americans in this great country of America. He has served in the ministry for over 41 years in the pulpit, and over 25 years in the Air Force as a Chaplain. With these experiences and travels all over the world makes him proud to express even as himself as an African American to see greatness!
