Overview
In the theological tradition of the black church that celebrates “preached theology,” Marvin McMickle demonstrates how ministers can develop sermons and programs that speak to the “two separate congregations” that coexist in their pews—middle-class commuters and the underclass residents of the immediate neighborhood.
The result is a book that serves as a study guide, with sample sermons, for clergy and laity who want to minister more effectively to and through the growing black middle class in America.
