The Religious Roots of Black Catholics of St. Louis
Saint Louis, MO: Saint Louis University, 1977. Paperback. "This is the first scientific study of foundations of faith in a significant segment of the Saint Louis Archdiocese. It will, the researchers hope, give direction to future efforts in strengthening black Catholics in their faith, in pointing out ways to improve interracial relations among Catholics, and indicating methods for reaching other Blacks. It will offer guidelines for the archdiocese in future planning and it will suggest methods for fostering interracial Catholic communication, presently almost non-existant on a social level" (introduction).
