Church work among the Negroes in the South The Hale Memorial Sermon No. 2

"Church Work Among the Negroes in the South" by Robert Strange is a historical record that explores the Church's engagement with the African American community in the South during the challenging times after slavery. It shines a light on how the Church tried to help Black people through establishing parochial schools and ministries, while also navigating the changing relationships between white and Black congregations. The book looks at the Church's role in educating and supporting African Americans, advocating for a structure where Black congregations could have their own leaders yet still connect with the larger Church. It's an examination of race, religion, and how society was changing in America during this period.
