Abstract
- The article assess movement toward rediscovering an authentic religious collective consciousness in the Caribbean. It discusses the legacy of slavery on religious expression in the region, which includes the prevalence of Anglo or Eurocentric Christianity. It is noted that decolonizing theology is the conscious effort to redress the illusion of freedom fostered by Anglo religious practice and replace it with a transcended reality. Reflections are provided on the role of religion in responding to the call for freedom, transcendence and unity.
