Another Day's Journey: Black Churches Confronting the American Crisis

A call to arms for the churches Franklins book urges direct engagement by African American and other churches with regard to Americas mounting social problems. Bringing informed and astute analysis of the urban scene the national picture and the ways of black churches he details programs that really work to salvage the wasted treasures of black urban youths--as well as programs for children elders and economic action.Practical concerns for example how churches can find public and private resource to aid their efforts are presented as well as suggestions for renewing the imperiled church itself. The capstone is Franklins vision of an activist Christian commitment that can model fellowship and reconciliation.Raised in an urban working-class setting with many years of experience in and with the churches Franklin combines in this work the conviction of a public moralist with the dedication and savvy of an urban churchman.
