Books by Katie Day

Like an ecosystem, cities develop, change, thrive and adapt through the interaction of myriad components. Religion is one of those living parts, shaping and being shaped by urban contexts. This volume is an outstanding interdisciplinary reference source to the key topics, problems and methodologies in this cutting-edge subject.

In Prelude to Struggle, Katie Day analyzes the findings of a three-year study of the African American churches in North Philadelphia, the most impoverished section of the city. All of these congregations were engaged in significant community economic development projects, yet pursued their common goals through two distinct strategic approaches.
