FAITH AND RELIGION
The Black Church In Contemporary America Arguably, the church is one of the most important institutions in the world. Its historical importance can be traced through women's suffrage, slavery, periods of famine and epidemics, The Great Depression and wars, the Civil Rights Movement, as well as natural and man-made disasters. As America's inner cities face sustainability challenges after decades of disinvestment, economic decline, crime, and decay in social structures, churches remain a cultural staple. Some estimates suggest that 95 percent of all black philanthrop flows through churches, and as such, the 67,000 houses of worship represent the largest self-sustained black institution. An upcoming GraniteRG.com national poll will pose some profound questions about predominantly African American churches and provide ordinary citizens a unique opportunity to share perspectives on a range of related topics.
