Dear Friends,

It was our great honor to host Fine Artists at Five from March 2020 until today’s (Friday, May 7) performance. We hope to restart, perhaps in a different format, in the fall. In the meantime, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to all the artists who helped us learn what our community brings to the arts, and who showed us the invariable ways that art invigorates our lives. Thank you also to everyone who joined us and contributed to our conversations as we helped each other through a very difficult year.

 Christopher A. House, Associate Professor of Communication Studies, has recently published an essay: “A Wounded Healer: The HIV/AIDS Rhetoric of Rev. James L. Cherry: Listening: Journal of Communication Ethics, Religion, and Culture, Fall 2020, Vol 55, 3 pp. 195-206.

Using oral history methodology and Burkean identification theory of identification, House elucidates the religious grounded HIV/AIDS pulpit oratory of the late Reverend James L. Cherry , pastor emeritus of Aenon Baptist Church, Rochester, NY. In this essay, attention is given to Cherry’s use of persuasive sermons to help people of African descent reconfigure at-risk behaviors to counteract the disproportionate presence of the disease in their community. This essay argues that Cherry effectively frames his oratory on HIV/AIDS within the his call narrative and a rhetoric of a wounded healer—one who has experienced some measure of emotional, physical and/or spiritual trauma as a both a point of departure and a point of identification in (re)creating balance and harmony in the community.
