In Prelude to Struggle, Katie Day analyzes the findings of a
three-year study of the African American churches in North
Philadelphia, the most impoverished section of the city. All of
these congregations were engaged in significant community economic
development projects, yet pursued their common goals through two
distinct strategic approaches. Five of the churches joined a
citywide community organizing coalition while the others stayed
within the traditional entrepreneurial paradigm. Day argues that
whether an urban African American congregation utilizes the more
grassroots, confrontational tactics and structural change
orientation of community organizing, or relies on the traditional
model of the entrepreneurial pastor, the choice of strategy is not
related to either congregational factors or pastoral leadership
considered in isolation.
