A Goal of Black Religious Studies and more?

From African American Religious Studies: An Interdisciplinary Anthology -- Edited by Gayraud S. Wilmore

"But what is ultimately desirable is what might be called a "second conversion experience" -- away from naive faith, unduly influenced by white evangelicalism appropriated during slavery--to a new persona grounded in mature learned reappropriation of faith in the "God of our weary years...of our silent tears...who has brought us thus far along the way." The liberating God of Africa and of Afro-America: this God alone is the source of the power that holds the entire system of faith and praxis together, with creative energies flowing back and forth between the student, the classroom and congregation; all within the context of a specific sociopolitical situation and analysis."

This is Gayraud Wilmore's vision for African American Religious studies, but I think it should be broaden to include African American religion as a whole.
