In this episode of Emerged, we are joined by Anthony Smith, a Pentecostal minister, local activist, EV Cohort leader, town councilman, and Theo-blogger at Musings of a Postmodern Negro. This long-time leader of the ECM shares his personal journey, highlighting how questions of race, class, and identity politics changed the movement. The discussion also delves into the significance of local cohorts as community spaces and how the movement provided a liminal space for individuals navigating faith and culture.https://postmodernegro.wordpress.com/about/______Emerged is a crowdfunded project.
