Institutional Identity
About the Anti-Slavery Ministers Association
A civic-theological fellowship in the historic anti-slavery tradition, refounded for the present hour as the civic realm and justice initiative of Kingdom Culture International Fellowship.
Who We Are
An ecumenical fellowship of conscience
The Anti-Slavery Ministers Association (ASMA) gathers Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Anglican, Reformed, Holiness, AME, CME, COGIC, and broader ecumenical traditions into a disciplined civic-theological fellowship — the inheritors of a long line of pulpits, presses, and pews that confessed the gospel against chattel slavery, lynching, dispossession, and every modern erasure of the human person.
Our Standing
A realm within KCIF
ASMA is the civic realm and justice initiative of Kingdom Culture International Fellowship. We are not a separate organization in competition with the church, the academy, or the historic associations — we are an institutional gateway opened within the KCIF ecosystem to convene public theology around human dignity, covenant memory, embodied witness, and ethical reconstruction.
Our Calling
Vocalizing the Dehumanized
Returning the rights of input in the human experience.
This is the institutional philosophy of ASMA — not a slogan but a confession. To vocalize the dehumanized is to refuse the silence imposed by erasure, by revisionism, by pulpits that have grown shy of the Kingdom's public claim. To return the rights of input is to re-seat the historically silenced — the enslaved, the colonized, the disenfranchised, the unborn, the witness — at the table where the human experience is named, taught, and stewarded.
Revelation
The Word read in the company of the witnesses, ancient and recent.
Resistance
The disciplined refusal of every doctrine that diminishes the image of God.
Renewal
Civic-theological reconstruction in the historic Black church and the broader ecumenical body.
