| church administration in the black perspective: Church Administration in the Black Perspective Floyd Massey, Samuel Berry McKinney, 2003 With over 60,000 copies in print, Church Administration in the Black Perspective, first published in 1976, has become a classic reference manual.

This resource addresses the particular needs of the pastor and church staff who have been charged with the responsibilities of administration in the black church context. Not only does this revised edition feature updated language, but it also includes fresh information in such areas as budgeting and the use of modern technology. The authors supply detailed information on creating a church budget, and discuss the role websites, computer technology, and cable access television can play in helping churches to carry out their mission. The book includes guidelines for effectively organizing church boards and committees, as well as details pertaining to overall church structure. The authors' perspectives are well grounded in the experience of the African American Christian community, as the text explores how the African heritage and slave experience have molded black church traditions. The authors bring to the writing of this book a blend of practical and academic experience. Book jacket. |

This revised edition offers guidance on many new topics that are of vital importance to churches, including protecting children, information security, approaches to preventing and responding to violence, planned giving, social media, and hybrid work and worship.

| church administration in the black perspective: The Black Church Leroy E. Adams Jr., 2022-11-03 The Black Church is a history of a rich past, a vibrant present, and a promising future particularly within the African American community. The black church has a wealthy tradition of religious experience in the history of the church. The burden of conventional views regarding the black church in our society is vague and often disregarded in the mainstream of our Christian faith due to the lack of knowledge and possible stereotypical mind-sets. To resolve this, the black church's identity must be expressed and respected in the history of Christendom. The black church has always been a beacon of hope to many people of color who search for strength, fellowship, and validation with their faith in God and among all Christian believers throughout the world. |

| church administration in the black perspective: Transforming Male Leaders In The Twenty-First Century-Church Through Training in Transformative Learning and Transformational Leadership Manuel Howard, 2019-10-30 The Transforming Male Leaders in the Twenty-First Century is a blueprint for all male leaders, especially those who are looking to be transformed into game-changing transformational leaders in their homes, churches, and/or the community. Males, especially African American males in leadership, have been on a decline in churches, homes, and the community in recent decades. This book will train all men in transformative learning and transformational leadership which will spark a transformational revival in our male leaders. This book is a recipe for transformation. It uses a qualitative method of inquiry which lays out a treatment plan including a three-week training module utilized to investigate the focus on the lack of black male leadership in the church, home, and the community. This book presents the state-of-the-art research in black male leadership. This book provides information drawn from literature review relative to the absence of black male leadership in the church. This book shares significant concepts and pertinent works by leading authors and theorists in black male leadership. This book also provides an in-depth explication of transformational leadership and transformative learning theories as they correlate to current literature on the lack of male leaders in the black church. Transforming Male Leaders in the Twenty-First Century establishes a theoretical foundation using a theological, biblical, and historical perspective to undergird the subject matter of transforming black males in the local church. This book also examines the work of leading theorists in male leadership. This book is a solution to a male leadership crisis in the black home, church, and community. This book will enlighten all leaders regarding the leadership crisis in America and sound the bell for transformation across the globe! One must be transformed by training, love, grace, and blood of Jesus to be a transformer in the home, church, or community. |

| church administration in the black perspective: How to Get Along With Your Church George B. Thompson Jr., 2013-01-01 By culture, George B. Thompson Jr. means not just racial, ethnic, economic, or regional culture, but also a congregation's way of doing things--its history, customs, conventions, and procedures. In order to launch and maintain a successful ministry, pastors and other church leaders must come to grasp that unique culture of their parish. They must develop a culture capital within their congregations, meaning that they invest themselves deeply in how their church does its work and goes about its ministries. The author presses clergy to answer such questions as How well do I know what I'm getting into? and Have I been adopted yet? and even Is it time to move on? The book is ideal for pastors in solo settings, but pastors in multiple staff settings will also find the author's insights helpful. |

| church administration in the black perspective: Understanding and Transforming the Black Church Anthony B. Pinn, 2010-01-01 What is the nature and purpose of the Black Church? What is the relationship of the scholar of religion to the Black Church? While black churches have been a major component of the religious landscape of African American communities for centuries, little critical attention has been given to these questions outside an apologetic stance. This book seeks to correct this trend by examining some of the major issues facing black churches in the twenty-first century. From a challenge to traditional ways of addressing sexism within black churches to African American Christianity's relationship to popular culture, this set of reflections seeks to offer new perspectives on what it might mean to be Black and Christian in the United States. |
| church administration in the black perspective: Religious Leadership Sharon Henderson Callahan, 2013-06-20 This title tackles issues relevant to leadership in the realm of religion.

Topics are examined from multiple perspectives, traditions, and faiths. |
| church administration in the black perspective: Women Deacons and Deaconesses Charles W. Deweese, 2005 Divided opinion on the topic of this book has caused controversy in Baptist history and life. Most Baptist individuals and churches have strongly opposed women deacons. Some Baptist associations have even disfellowshipped churches that have approved women deacons. And women in general have been suppressed by many recent actions of the Southern Baptist Convention, thereby affecting women deacons. However, thousands of Baptist churches include women in their deacon bodies and find that they make invaluable contributions. The book presents arguments on both sides of the topic, but lands squarely in support of women deacons. |
| church administration in the black perspective: The Mission of Today's Church R. Stanton Norman, 2007-03-01 The Mission of Today’s Church is a compelling collection of twelve essays from current Baptist leaders addressing three major questions: (1) What does it mean to be a Christian today on individual, group, and societal levels? (2) How can Southern Baptists best work together? and (3) What is next for the Southern Baptist denomination? Those addressing these key topics in-depth include Stan Norman (“Together We Grow: Congregational Polity as a Form of Corporate Sanctification”), Ed Stetzer (“The Missional Nature of the Church”), and Daniel Akin (“Ten Mandates for Southern Baptists”). Among the many other contributors are Chad Brand, Charles Kelley, and Jim Richards. |

Many of the men and women who share their call story in this volume are nationally and internationally known. |
| church administration in the black perspective: Practical Theology in Church and Society Joseph E. Bush, 2016-07-20 The church exists in the world, and our ministry is inextricably social in nature. Practical theology takes this seriously and asks us to reflect on our practice of ministry in both church and society. This book attends to our practice as individuals in ministry, to our corporate practice as congregations in ministry, and to our practice as Christians within the wider social and natural world. Practical Theology in Church and Society brings into sharper focus two perspectives on practical theology. One is the view through the wide-angle lens of justice-oriented action, which hopes for liberation. This view encompasses a broad vista of social forces for justice and injustice when evaluating local movements and local ministries. The other perspective takes the narrower focus of the action-reflection model as it is used to zoom in on individual actions and particular practices of ministry such as pastoral care. The purpose of the book is to integrate these two perspectives on practical theology. It explicates a cyclical method for doing theology that has corollaries within the disciplines of practical theology, liberation theology, missiology, congregation studies, and ministerial leadership. The volume provides resources for developing more socially and ecologically engaged ministries, and it draws implications for ministerial education. |
| church administration in the black perspective: I Got Next Rev. Dr. Marcus D. Allen, 2020-06-10 When a pastor has served at one church for a long time, they are considered “legends.” They are held in high regard for having conducted marriage ceremonies, presided over funerals, and led congregants through their most difficult moments. But when a new pastor is called to serve, they are often met with skepticism or unfair expectations. Many times, they find congregants who are unwilling to be challenged or change. The Rev. Dr. Marcus D. Allen draws on questionnaires of African American Baptist congregations and interviews with ten pastors called to lead churches in this guide for new pastor’s intent on making a difference. Learn how to: • navigate the transition process in a smooth fashion; • energize and encourage congregations to move to the next level; • help the church regain confidence and overcome the challenges of transition; • lead congregants in mourning a former leader who has died or been called to serve elsewhere. Each pastoral call comes with various transitional challenges, and it’s important to be ready for whatever is ahead. Get guidance to inspire others and achieve success with the lessons in I Got Next. |

| church administration in the black perspective: James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-Day Adventists R. Clifford Jones, 2009-09-18 In James K. Humphrey and the Sabbath-Day Adventists, R. Clifford Jones tells the story of this important black religious figure and his attempt to bring about self-determination for twentieth-century blacks in New York City. Humphrey was a Baptist minister who joined the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church shortly after arriving in New York City from Jamaica at the turn of the twentieth century. A leader of uncommon competency and charisma, Humphrey functioned as an SDA minister in Harlem during the time the community became the black capital of the United States. Though he led his congregation to a position of prominence within the SDA denomination, Humphrey came to believe the black experience in Adventism was one of disenfranchisement. When he refused to alter his plans for a utopian community for blacks in the face of dissent from SDA church leaders, Humphrey's ministerial credentials were revoked and his congregation was dissolved. Subsequently, Humphrey established an independent black religious organization, the United Sabbath-Day Adventists. This book rescues the Sabbath-Day Adventists from obscurity. Humphrey's break with the Seventh-day Adventists provides clues to the state of black-white relationships in the denomination at the time. It set the stage for the creation of the separate administrative structure for blacks established by the SDA church in 1945. This history of a minister and his church demonstrates the struggles of small, independent, black congregations in the urban community during the twentieth century. |

| church administration in the black perspective: A House Esteemed: Building Esteem for God, for Ourselves and for the Church DR. JOHN R. LEWIS PHD LCSW CADC SAP SAE, 2017-02-09 What is refreshing about Mr. Lewis' practical work is not only that it combines sociological theory with biblical theology, but that it comes from the pen of a practitioner who speaks from experience in dealing with people in need of esteem. He challenges the popular assumptions that only modern sociological theory can give definition and solution in the issue of esteem. He suggests that the issue of esteem cannot be separated from the problem of sin in human nature. Mr. Lewis argues clearly that Christian faith restores esteem, and this is not merely self-esteem! That is, the call to Christian conversion points beyond individualistic esteem to esteeming God, the world and His entire creation. Self-esteem flows from this broader biblical view of esteem. Isaac J. Canales, Ph.D. Senior Pastor, Mission Eben-Eser Family Church Carson, California. A House Esteemed is a rare integration of evangelical Christian outreach, combined with social and behavioral research... that proposes creative and effective adult Christian education programs...that should be widely applied in Evangelical denominations. Hobart A. Burch, Ph. D. Professor, School of Social Work, University of Nebraska at Omaha I see in A House of Esteemed the potential to be an invaluable aid to the minister, teacher and student alike, in their pursuit of knowledge and clarity concerning some of the traditional beliefs and teachings that have helped to turn our 'Religious World' into a Battleground'.
