Practical Theology for Black Churches: Bridging Black Theology and African American Folk ReligionThe rift between black theology, with its social and political concerns, and black churches, with their emphases on pastoral care and piety, has been growing.

The rift between black theology, with its social and political concerns, and black churches, with their emphases on pastoral care and piety, has been growing. Here, Dale Andrews offers a way to bridge this gap by redefining the paradigm of church as "refuge" in terms of a faith identity that brings together a concern for liberation with a pastoral focus on spirituality. This faith identity emerges from dominant biblical themes that shape preaching and pastoral care.

Andrews' insightful analysis of the gulf between black churches and black theology reveals the invasive influence of individualism in black religious life as well as the shared values for social change and care of the soul. Notably, it is this influence of individualism that has disrupted communal solidarity and brought about the neglect of liberation ethics within black church life. This practical theology will contribute greatly towards renewing the pastoral and prophetic ministry of black religious life.

Nothing is Chew Proof, but these do pretty well
My three 2-year-old Dutch Shepherds have killed every toy except their Kong balls. These octopus toys are hanging in there. My dogs are particularly driven by wiggling the appendages - They LOVE it. My Sheba who normally kills toys immediately has not yet destroyed her octopus. She's been holding it like a teddy bear, that is after she's worn out from throwing it around. I've thrown them in the washing machine and they come out great.

Not good for aggressive chewers
This product does not stand up to aggressive chewing. My bulldog had it for about an hour before the legs disappeared.

A bit wider than I expected
Style: Coyote
I thought this was going to be a "flat" toy but was a bit surprised to see that it was more of a 3D shape than flat. It's unfortunately a bit too wide for my small/medium sized terrier so he really only grabs and chews on the tail and ears. It is pretty durable though and has held up well.
