"Church Work Among the Negroes in the South" by Robert Strange is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book discusses the efforts made by the Church in the American South to engage with and serve the African American community, particularly in the wake of the Civil War and the transition from slavery to freedom. The text reveals the social, religious, and cultural dynamics of the time, highlighting various Church initiatives aimed at improving the lives and spiritual conditions of the Black population. In this sermon, Strange reflects on the historical context of African Americans in the South, noting their previous affiliations with white churches and the subsequent shift toward independent Black churches after emancipation. He emphasizes the Church's responsibility in educating and uplifting the African American community, detailing the establishment of parochial schools and ministries specifically for Black congregants. Strange argues for a structural separation within the Church that allows African Americans to lead their own congregations while still fostering a relationship with the broader Church community. The text serves as both a call to action for Church leaders and a poignant examination of the racial and social issues facing the United States during this transformative period.
