Description: Black Ecumenism is the story of the cooperative, interdenominational efforts on the part of black churchmen and churchwomen to address social, political, and economic inequities in this society. At the same time, it is the story of African Americans' struggle of recent decades to work out a tenable relationship with America that avoids the pitfalls both of integration and of separation.

The book contains a wealth of information not readily available elsewhere, including a helpful appendix on the sources of black denominationalism.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 215-237) and index.
