Imani Rituals: Nurturing African Spiritual Heritage

A powerful and necessary collection of rituals centering the African American experience and the African Diaspora.

As American society becomes increasingly diverse, people are seeking spiritual inspiration from an expanding array of sources. Unitarian Universalist congregations must be culturally pluralistic to become a religious home to all who cross their threshold. Imani (Swahili for faith) Rituals centers the African American experience and the African Diaspora as the inspiration for rituals to enrich religious and spiritual life for Unitarian Universalists and other liberal denominations.

Intended for individual, family, congregational, and community use, the practices in this book offer a creative and contemporary approach to rituals that are grounded in heritage and tradition, creating connection with ancestors and ancient wisdom while responding to the present moment. The rituals include individual practices to promote transcendence, healing, and acceptance; family rituals that honor elders; and community rituals that honor holidays and promote action for social justice, among many others.
