In his introduction to this guide, the Rev. Charles Christian Adams writes that leaders of the Black Church, \"have changed the world for the better and helped humanity to morally progress in labor relations, distribution of resources, education, health care, equal protection under the law, access to opportunity, housing, economic development and social activism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdams wrote that this guide, \"is concise but in no way superfluous. So when you encounter the efficacy of the African American worship tradition or if you seek it out, you will be well prepared. Even if you just want to know enough to increase your understanding, you will enjoy this offering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuides in this series typically attract the attention of people who want to see how their story is told. However, the Michigan State University Journalism School designs and writes these for curious people who seek answers to basic questions for a group, religion or culture they want to learn about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide answers the call that TIME magazine raised in a headline, \"To understand America, you need to understand the Black Church.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe agree. The Black Church is a response to enslavement and discrimination, but its momentum is independent of outside forces. It is both an alliance of seven Christian denominations and a longstanding instrument of social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dual identity takes our search for answers in several directions. Some of the questions \"100 Questions and Answers About the Black Church\" addresses: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy were Black Churches created?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy did enslaved people convert to Christianity?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat was the \"Slave Bible\"?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow did Black migration to the North affect the church?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow are Black Churches sanctuaries?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy are they attacked?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the Black social gospel?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is Black Liberation Theology?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat type of preaching occurs in the Black Church?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes the Black Church ordain women?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the origins of gospel music?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow do sacred and secular music interact?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre pulpits more political in Black Churches?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat role does the church play in Black Lives Matter? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answers come from research and the voices of people who have lived these experiences.
