THE GOD BOX TALKS

The God Box Talks is the worship of God with the mind. We do so by engaging in fruitful interfaith dialogues in cities, towns and villages all around the Pan African world. These dialogues are not intended to convert or convince, but to assemble interfaith communities to highlight and embrace differences and commonalities as wealth to be shared for the redemption of the Pan African family. These discussions expose our vulnerabilities and sacred spaces in ways that give us a better understanding of who we were, who we are and who we still must become in the eyes of God. Through this engagement of our minds, we address how our various spiritual and religious paths wrestle with the socio-political and religio-cultural problems that not only demand theological reflection but inspire us to act.

All of our God Box Talks series can be found on our Youtube Channel

    BACKGROUND

    Through four virtual workshops, as well as a library of resources, this series focused on discussions about Afro-Latinx identity as it relates to their origins in Africa and the Diaspora. It examined how Africanisms have synchronized, evolved, and been retained within certain aspects of Afro-Latinx identity, culture, tradition, and spirituality within their geographic locations. Led by expert panelists on the history of Afro-Latinxs and Africa Pre and Post-TransAtlantic Slave Trade, this series inspired participants to return home to the continent of Africa and invest creatively, culturally, spiritually, and financially in our collective AfroFutures through a spiritual pilgrimage experience.

    Hebrews & the Promised Land

    August 1, 2020 | 11am - 4pm

    Zoom

    REGISTRATION CLOSED

    BACKGROUND

    In this series, God Box Talks: "Hebrews and the Promise Land," we will explore the different Hebrew perspectives as to why our faith in the 400-year prophecy and promise of liberation has been overwhelmed once again by the comforts of fear and doubt, skepticism and fear-mongering, anger and bitterness towards Africa, all of which continues to prevent us from careful and strategic planning and preparation towards reconciliation with Africa which for some, is directly tied to our reconciliation with The Most High and salvation.

    Pan-African Interfaith 400 Years Dialogue

    Wednesday, February 27, 2019 | 6 Pm - 9 Pm

    CCCADI | 120 E 125th St, New York, NY 10035

    REGISTRATION CLOSED

    BACKGROUND

    President Trump recently signed a bill (HR 1242) that marks the year 2019 being the 400 years since the first African slave was brought to America. In response to this commemoration, the Government of Ghana declared 2019 as the Year of Return for African Americans to return to Ghana and reconnect and reclaim their ancestral heritage.

    For Pan African religious groups who interpret the Bible through an African lens, this acknowledgment correlates with the Exodus story in the Bible. Like our ancestors, Africans of the Diaspora have also been in bondage and under oppression for 400 years. Africa today, represents the proverbial wilderness and like our ancestors, Africans of the Diaspora are embarking on a sojourn into the wilderness with much wealth. Consequently, the year 2019 marks a time of liberation. However, our history, from this exodus story to the abolishment of slavery and decolonization, shows how complex freedom truly is. How then shall we meet the challenges that this proverbial wilderness in 2019 will bring?

    The God Box Foundation (TGBF) in collaboration with the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI) presents God Box Talks “Into the Wilderness.” This will be an interfaith dialogue between Pan African religious and spiritual leaders addressing what the 400 years signifies, what liberation should look like for the Pan African family and whether Africa is indeed the answer.

    BACKGROUND

    Marvels superhero, Black Panther, was the inspiration for the name of a black power movement that erupted in 1966 in Oakland, California during Americas racial climax. Fueled by its youthful vigor and rage against the oppression of white supremacy, The Black Panther Party sought to do away with any romanticism with America and sought to be self-sufficient and reliant by building their own communities by any means necessary. They became one of the most powerful threats to the United States government and brought fear to all of white America. The movement saw its demise in 1982 due to heavy FBI killings and jailing’s of their leaders.
