Book excerpt: 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. 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. "Leadership in the Black Church" Examines the Current Situation Explains the Servant Leadership model of Jesus Exposes what Current Church Members are Thinking Enlightens a Path Toward Constructive Change Based on an extensive study of Black Churches, Dr. Evans offers hope for a bright future for the church. It is a practical approach that can equip the church to remain in a community leadership position for years to come.

Book Synopsis The Faithful Preacher (Foreword by John Piper) by : Thabiti M. Anyabwile
Download or read book The Faithful Preacher (Foreword by John Piper) written by Thabiti M. Anyabwile and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2007-03-02 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cliché is that those who do not learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. But Thabiti Anyabwile contends that it is not the mistakes we must study; it is the people who have overcome them. So he presents three of the most influential African-American pastors in American history who can teach us what faithful ministry entails. Lemuel Haynes (1753-1833) reminds pastors that eternity must shape our ministry. Daniel A. Payne (1811-1893) stresses the importance of character and preparation to faithful shepherding. And Francis J. Grimké (1850-1937) provides a vision for engaging the world with the gospel. While they are from the African-American tradition, they, like all true saints, belong to all Christians of every background and era. Distinctive for its use of rare and out-of-print messages, Anaybwile's work is valuable as a reference as well as a devotional resource.
Book Synopsis The Black American Church by : Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph
Download or read book The Black American Church written by Dr. Khandicia N. Randolph and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book seeks to examine the leadership of the Black church through a critical and theoretical lens utilizing historical and anthropological foci to better identify and understand some of the challenges within the paramount institution and its attrition to the Black American community at large and provide appropriate suggestions and generating frameworks for addressing the challenges. The church has always played a pivotal role in Black American culture's identity, development, and progression. Leadership and organizational challenges within the church pervasively matriculate to other Black spaces, historically Black organizations, and a broader societal context. Due to the church's historical and ethnographic context for Blacks in America, many of the challenges faced in the church go unrecognized, unspoken, thus unattended. This manuscript endeavors to identify the challenges, and flaws through research and data, to provide solutions through practical and theoretical implementations to some shortcomings for the betterment of the church and culture. The interconnectedness of culture and religion for Blacks in America established a gargantuan impact factor on the church and its leaders. This manuscript examines the pervading effects of the influence through leadership dispensation. It also explores the understanding of leadership through the lens of Black Christianity, deriving that the foundation of leadership in the Black community was primarily circumscribed by the influence of the church as conglomerate collectivism of almost five hundred years of the history and culture of Africans, African descendants, and members of the African diaspora in what is now America who contributed to the ideal of the Black church. The critical analysis provided is not one of condemnation but likened to a vital performance review through member experiences barred against applicable leadership and organizational development barometers.

Book Synopsis A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America by : Stephen C.W. Graves
Download or read book A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America written by Stephen C.W. Graves and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A theoretical examination of the concepts of the citizen, citizenship, and leadership, A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America: Leaders of the New School proposes to develop a prototype or model of effective Black leadership. Furthermore, it examines “citizenship habits” of the Black community based on their economic standing, educational attainment, participation in the criminal justice system, and health and family structure. It tracks data in these four categories from 1970 to today, measuring effective leadership by the improvement or decline in the majority of African Americans standing in these four categories. This book concludes that African Americans have negative perceptions of themselves as U.S. citizens, which thus produce “bad citizenship habits.” Additionally, ineffective Black leaders since the Civil Rights era have been unwilling to demonstrate the purpose and significance of service, particularly to the poor and disadvantaged members of the Black community. Contemporary Black leaders (post–Civil Rights Era) have focused primarily on self-promotion, careerism, and middle-class interests. A new type of leader is needed, one that stresses unity and reinforces commitment to the group as a whole by establishing new institutions that introduce community-building.

Book Synopsis New Wine, New Wineskins by : Dr. F. Douglas Powe JR.
Download or read book New Wine, New Wineskins written by Dr. F. Douglas Powe JR. and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God wants to do a new thing in the African American Church. Author, Douglas Powe suggests that the African American church, while once the bedrock of the community, is no longer on the radar for many. During the Civil Rights movement African American churches initiated and even shaped transformation for an entire country, well beyond their own walls. In this post-Civil Rights era the power of many African American churches remains mired in the assumptions and practices of the past, thereby making them invisible to their surrounding communities. New Wine, New Wineskins helps African American congregations understand and benefit from the cultural shifts we are now experiencing. Many African American churches once thought they were immune to the cultural shock waves in our streets and neighborhoods. They simple argued that they have always been all about participation and being relational; yet like many churches, their numbers continue to decline. African American churches must find a way to reclaim their missional orientation, while at the same time remaining true to their historical identity and witness of speaking truth to power. The worthy goals of justice and bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ in this time, requires new practices and fresh ideas—new wine. The old framework just won’t work any more. We need new wine skins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative Pastoral Leadership in the Black Church offers practical wisdom from comparative analysis of the experiences of a male pastor and a female pastor in the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. Church leaders must be transformed themselves as they are transforming their churches to serve their communities. From his research of the perspectives of laity, clergy, and scholars of the black church, Jeffery L. Tribble offers hopeful stories and helpful strategies for those who believe that the black church must continue its historic mission of being an instrument of survival, elevation, and liberation for its people. Transformative Pastoral Leadership in the Black Church is an important contribution to studies of black religion, womanist thought, and social justice.
