Kerygma

"In evangelization, the proclamation of the redemption in Jesus Christ and the acceptance of the "kerigma" are fundamental. Positive response to the "kerigma" and the entry into the Kingdom of God, made present in Jesus Christ has to be preceded by "metanoia" as a pre-requisite."

"In the same way that God is irreducible to the idea of God, and that my love for another person is irreducible to the words and practices that express that love, so too the kerygma cannot be reduced to the cultural forms in which it comes to expression."

"If the liberation of women is not proclaimed, the church’s proclamation cannot be about divine liberation. If the church does not share in the liberation struggle of Black women, its liberation struggle is not authentic. If women are oppressed, the church cannot possibly be “a visible manifestation that the gospel is a reality”—for the gospel cannot be real in that context. One can see the contradictions between the church’s language or proclamation of liberation and its action by looking both at the status of Black women in the church as laity and Black women in the ordained ministry of the church."
