Has The black church became a failure to the black community?

The black church buildings were community centers.They housed schools and  were meeting places for a variety of organizations. Antislavery societies often met in churches, and the churches harbored fugitive slaves.This went hand in hand with the community leadership black ministers provided. They started schools and various voluntary associations. They spoke against slavery, racial oppression , and what they considered weakness among  African Americans.  GUEST CALL-IN   (319) 527-6068
