This book's title, "the stones that the builders rejected" (Psalm
118:22), refers to "history's black absent ones" who may indeed
have much more to say about the nature of moral discourse and
redemption of America's soul than has previously been acknowledged.
In the book, six outstanding black scholars, women and men, build
on the hypothesis that, because of its distinctive socio-cultural
location and long history of producing quality leadership despite
inadequate material and social resources, the black church
tradition is a prime candidate for offering direction for the
development of leaders for today's national and global communities.
Contributors include: Peter Paris, Princeton Theological Seminary;
Marcia Y. Riggs, Columbia Theological Seminary; Clarice J. Martin,
Colgate Rochester Divinity School; Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, Colby
College; Carolyn C. Denard, Georgia State University; and Michael
Eric Dyson, Columbia University. While the authors offer distinct
methodological approaches for understanding ethical leadership, all
express the need to return to some of the powerful resources of the
past as a way of rethinking appropriate forms and styles of
leadership in the lives of African Americans and the nation at
large. The editor, Walter E. Fluker, is Project Director of the
National Resource Center for the Development of Ethical Leadership
from the Black Church Tradition at Colgate Rochester Divinity
School.
