Seeking the Peace
South Sudan’s Costly Conflict and the Urgent Role of Religious Leaders
In 2013, two years after South Sudan’s formation as the world’s newest nation, a costly civil war erupted that has ensnared the South Sudanese people and the nation’s developmental and consolidation process for more than five years. The article explores the current conflict against its historical backdrop, proposing a greater role for religious leaders in the peace and reconciliation processes. It draws upon original interview data generated in 2…

Religion, Race, and the Making of American Global Citizens
Several pioneering African American leaders challenged inherent religious and racial limitations in historic American exceptionalism and American foreign policy. Operating in a 20th-century context that included anti-colonial fervor and the secularization of global voluntary service, they pursued an American global engagement that allowed racial and religious identity to serve as a bridge rather than a barrier. These leaders, many of whom were cl…
Beginnings and Legacies of African American Global Service
An introduction to the Spring 2012 (Volume 10, Number 1) issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs, a special issue on the theme, “Religion and African American Leadership in Global Volunteerism.” Both the Peace Corps and Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) recently celebrated 50th anniversaries, and this theme issue explores how these organizations formalized models of global service and citizen diplomacy that have significantly advance…
African Pilgrimage and American Social Identity
The author led Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) student volunteers to Lesotho and South Africa in 1983, and then co-led a group of student volunteers in Sierra Leone in 1984. He returned in 1985 and 1986 as OCA's Africa Program Deputy Director. The author realized how his commitment to service and social bridge building was tied to his American social identity, and various encounters with Africans revealed that they viewed him primarily as a rep…
Introduction
Christianity is growing faster in sub‐Saharan Africa than anywhere in the world, and African churches have varied in their ability to respond effectively to hopes for peace and restoration within conflict and post‐conflict situations on the continent. Churches are important institutions within Africa’s characteristically weak civil society sector; their moral and social capital has contributed to the mediation of hostilities and movement toward p…
Guest Editor's Introduction
In the aftermath of 9/11, U.S.-Middle East and Christian-Muslim relations became radically complicated and precarious. Yet, substantial external and internal barriers to black religious voice and visibility on U.S.-Middle East affairs caused AfricanAmerican church leaders to appear surprisingly quiet on these subjects, even in the midst of great unrest in many Islamic regions. The Spring 2008 issue of The Review of Faith & International Affairs p…
Congregations in Low-Income Neighborhoods and the Implications for Social Welfare Policy Research
Social scientists have an abundance of information about congregations to inform religion and social welfare policy discussions in the United States. But their data tend to come from congregations located outside low-income neighborhoods, not congregations inside them. This may limit their ability to make definitive claims, especially to policy makers, about social welfare practices and the potential of congregations located in low-income neighbo…

New Day Begun
New Day Begun presents the findings of the first major research project on black churches' civic involvement since C. Eric Lincoln and Lawrence H. Mamiya's landmark study Black Church in the African American Experience. Since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Acts and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the scale and scope of African American churches' civic involvement have changed significantly: the number of African American clergy serving in elect…
Churches and the Urban Poor
Although the social isolation of the urban poor has been well documented, the analysis has only alluded to, and rarely detailed, the isolation of the urban poor from churches and other religious institutions. This article outlines findings from survey research conducted in three low-income housing complexes in Indianapolis, focusing on the extent to which the housing complex residents had been contacted by churches, had attended churches, and had…
