Book Details

In the transition from the Civil Rights Movement to now something happened along the way to the social responsibility of the Black church to the African American community. A Charge to Keep examines the evolution of the social mission of the Black church to an economic and evangelistic mission. A Charge to Keep further examines the expectations of African American church parishioners based upon accomplishments brought upon by achievements of the Civil Rights Movement.

This study involved an investigation of the Black church in a post-Civil Rights Movement era. The objective of the study was to evaluate outcomes in three key areas of social well-being: (a) education, (b) health, and (c) economics.
