Along with speaking at the UN’s Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, I was  asked to do a libation at the Forum’s launch event. Because this practice is done by Animistic faiths, some Christians believe it is unbiblical and should be avoided. Nevertheless, libation is found in the Bible, and Christians offer one each time they celebrate Communion. The only time it is forbidden is idolatry, where honor is given to things other than God.

Since the Forum had people of various backgrounds, I crafted a libation that is non-denominational. It focuses on thanksgiving and the celebration of Black joy throughout the ages. This libation is free for public use with the proper acknowledgement of its author [the Rev. Dr. Scotty J. Williams]. To access it click on the button below.
