The role in public life of religious organizations such as black
churches has been a contested and heated topic, with their
advocates calling for them to have a major place in public
discourse and their critiques demanding their silence in public if
not their total destruction. This book offers a creative and
compelling way to think about this dilemma. Unlike some, it does
not deny the effort on the part of such organizations to be
involved in public discourse and public policy; instead, it argues
this interest is insufficient. Drawing attention to the basic
elements of organizations such as black churches - theology,
organizational hierarchy, and so on - Pinn argues these churches
(and other religious organizations by extension) are not structured
in such a way as to allow participation in the public arena in ways
that appreciate and nurture the diversity of that arena. Instead,
Pinn calls for recognition of their value in the private life of
some, but their failure to have usefulness within the public arena.
