The session was a Tuesday Chapel service focusing on Black History Month, specifically celebrating Black Church traditions and contributions to theological education, countering stereotypes regarding Black religious scholarship. The service included an invocation and a time of corporate prayer, referencing Matthew 18:20, where participants were invited to bring their trials, tribulations, and expressions of gratitude to God. Key discussion points involved the nature of love, contrasting cultural expectations (like Valentine's Day spending, rom-coms, and fairy tales) with unconditional, God-given, salvific love as described in the Gospel of Luke 10:25-27. The speaker also addressed topics of loss, grief, and the serious issue of domestic violence, emphasizing that violence is about control, not love.
