Although Church attendance in Britain is experiencing a period of sharp decline, Black Churches continue to grow. Since the 1950s the Black Church movementhas been an extraordinary success story. To examine it's challenges and oppertunities many of it's leading figures have been brought together by Joe Aldred and Keno Ogbo to reflect on the issues facing the Black Church. They argue that the Black Church can remain a vital force as a prophetic advocate for the Black community, but only if it resonds with curage and creativity to the challenges of an increasingly plural, secular and sceptical society.

This thought provoking book is essential reading not only for members of the Black Christian community but for everyone who cares about the future of the Church in Britain.
