Caribbean Worship Heritage (CWH)
A survey of worship modalities and expressions common throughout the Caribbean and an examination of the discourse on ethnocentrism as aid or impediment to the mission of the church, the shadow of the Caribbean church's colonial legacy, and an evaluation of varied Caribbean worship expressions for authenticity and effectiveness in producing genuine Christ-centered spiritual formation and personal transformation.
