• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Stories from the Pews, G. Modele Dale Clarkes second book of short stories, is a collection of narratives about peculiar people and traditions in the black church. While not focused on any particular denomination, they represent a composite of church folk who make church membership and attendance such a fascinating experience. Because the black church embraces a complex diversity of cultures, social values, and spiritual manifestations, its impossible to stereotype black church folk. Consequently, these stories draw from the conflicts of church membership status, the power of entrenched family hierarchies, and the supremacy of embedded church traditions.
