African American contemplative practices are hidden in plain sight. They are enfolded in familiar worship practices from the mourner’s bench to the baptismal font, from the church shut-ins to public sit-ins;  each of the practices referenced below is grounded in  the  contemplative  religious  experiences  of  Africans in North America.
