Singing the Lord's Song in a Strange Land: The African American Churches and Ecumenism (Risk Book Series)

Although the historic black church in America has been and continues to be the central force in black life, it is little known and often misunderstood. Watley's informed portrait focuses on the seven so-called historic black churches--three Methodist, three Baptist, and one Pentecostal--depicting their worship life, international mission, theological enterprise, and ecumenical relationships.
