[MUSIC] Southern preaching and religion is deeply rooted in The Great Awakening, a religious movement in the 19th Century where large numbers of black and white Southerners were converted at camp meetings, where they sang and heard sermons and became a part of the religious tradition of the South. We can think about preachers of the book and preachers of the spirit in the South. Preachers of the book are trained within schools of theology, the preachers of the spirit, learn through apprenticeship with other preachers. They learn and get the spirit, they are essentially converted in spiritual experiences, a conversion experience. And we can see this in Reverend Isaac Thomas in Rose Hill Church, who found religion and was converted to, and brought as a preacher into the church by a very emotional personal experience in which he discovered religion. In looking at the diaspora of Southerners who leave the South, we can see two very different religious experiences in the Rose Hill Church in rural Mississippi, rooted in the spirituals of slavery and the a capella singing. We can see a very different experience in Saint Peter's church in New Haven, Connecticut. [MUSIC] The congregation there are all from North Carolina, and they have moved to the North to Connecticut, and their ceremony is highly musical and much more spiritually charged with spirit possession and dancing, and powerful gospel and sermons, which are all part of a very different urban Northern experience. But that congregation is deeply rooted in the South.
