Does Kwanzaa Clash With The Black Church?

NO! Kwanzaa celebrates African history and culture and has no religious underpinning whatsoever....No other than whatever religious traditions are included in the culture.....Therefore Kwanzaa is not in conflict with Christianity in any manner...It' almost impossible for us to disconnect spirituality from our culture....It's seem as if it's o­ne and the same.... Kwanzaa, a nonreligious holiday created in the 1960s to celebrate African-American culture, is increasingly taking on a spiritual dimension as Christians and Muslims blend Kwanzaa traditions with aspects of their faith. Kwanzaa, is a seven-day celebration that begins Dec. 26 and ends Jan.1....What's silly is when me and uninformed people think Kwanzaa is a substitute for Christmas...Some black churches are now accepting and celebrating Kwanzaa in harmony with the church.....Some Black churches marked the pre-Christmas season of Advent by walking parishioners through the principles of Kwanzaa......unity, self-determination, shared responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
