Leadership in the Black Church

<p>Nobody disputes that the world is changing—we see it all around us every day. Yet the African-American church has been slow to adopt change in the leadership structure. The result is a congregation that feels out of place. African-Americans have grown accustomed to sharing leadership in business civic organizations on the job and in the community. However when they attend church on Sunday they often find a situation that does not utilize their gifts.</p><p>Michael Evans has studied the Black Church extensively and discovered the growing need for the church to find its way through the massive demographic changes. This highly readable well-researched book carefully explores the need for change and then offers concrete guidance in how to develop the leadership needed by the Black Church.</p><p>“Leadership in the Black Church”</p><ul> <li>Examines the Current Situation</li> <li>Explains the Servant Leadership model of Jesus</li> <li>Exposes what Current Church Members are Thinking</li> <li>Enlightens a Path Toward Constructive Change</li></ul><p>Based on an extensive study of Black Churches Dr. Evans offers hope for a bright future for the church.
