This book is a look at the entity individually and collectively called the black church from its beginnings as an ethnic enclave comprised of African slaves and their descendants into an organization dedicated to the spiritual empowerment of its members in their respective communities in these United States. Beginning with an exploration of the author's personal introduction to the black church from childhood to adulthood, the book also gives background of the church's historical origins in the United States. The question believers and church members alike should ask themselves is whether the black church has maintained its relevance and power by evolving into a business-for-profit for one or a select few members, or must the black church de-evolve to its social and spiritual beginnings spawned in part by slavery and the fight for equal rights in the Civil Rights Movement that made it so revered, treasured and respected.
