- Abstract
- Conditions of non-growth, ineffectiveness and financial dependence among black Presbyterian churches in the US are traced to their non-indigenous history. Indigenization is proposed as a viable redevelopment strategy. It seeks to condition congregational life to cultural contexts in the application of principles of self-government, self-propagation and self-support. Assumptions drawn from historical data, interviews and studies of existing congregations were tested on a research model, Detroit Presbytery's redevelopment to two defunct congregations, resulting in the launching of Trinity Community Presbyterian Church. This experiment illustrates that indigenization is both desirable and workable in revitalizing black Presbyterian churches.
