Public Documentary Screening and Conversation: My e(X)-Religion: A Documentary on Hip Hop, Spirituality, and Religion

February 7, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Center for Black Church Studies | BCS Events & News

A group of college students formed a rap group while students at a Christian University. Nearly a decade later half of them are atheist/agnostic. “My e(X) Religion” offers a glance into Black Humanism, surprising viewpoints on the 2016 Presidential Election, and interesting perspectives regarding Hip Hop culture and spiritual formation. This documentary was made possible by an innovation grant received by Rev. Kermit Moss from Leadership Education at Duke Divinity and partnership with documentarian Tony Gaboton

Following the screening, Documentary Director Tony Gaboton and Rev. Kermit Moss will engage in a lively discussion with the audience.
