Overview

"Focusing on pastoral and lay leadership in the African-American church, this books deals with internal and external issues - such as the tendency towards a bifurcated mentality and practices (the ""this is business"" syndrome, for example), and the social issue of race and affirmative action. Ministers and laity in the black church must actively engage themselves in overcoming the inequities that are still endemic to life in urban America. Harris asserts that affirmative action policies are more important than ever in obtaining a degree of social justice."
