Description

Book Synopsis
The black church has always played a vital role in urban US settings. This study examines the impact of the church on blacks and the church's efforts to meet the arduous demands and sacrifices of urban life. It explores the ministers' role of leadership in African-American communities.

Trade Review
This detailed history surveys a vital force within the Bedford-Stuyvesant community, showing how 19th-century black churches emulated the white mainstream. Pentecostalism became a major force in the early 20th century, and civil rights issues came to the fore. Library Journal
