Reviews
"Alvis tells an important story for all who are interested in religion in the South during the years surrounding the civil rights movement. The author draws from a wide range of primary sources to trace developments with the Presbyterian Church, U.S., as this overwhelmingly white establishment denomination struggled to break out of deeply internalized racial assumptions and long held patterns of behavior." - Erskine Clarke, Columbia Theological Seminary, “Alvis has admirably delineated the struggles within the PCUS as the denomination wrestled with issues of racial justice in postwar America.

Synopsis
Joel Alvis focuses on the relationships and tensions in the Presbyterian Church, U.S., whose ecclesiastical boundaries never expanded significantly beyond its original territory in the Confederacy and border South. By the time of the civil rights movement, the church was actively involved in ecumenical activities despite its regional isolation, and that involvement created unease in some quarters of the denomination. This concise institutional history traces how the church shaped and was shaped by its regional culture and explores the denomination's own cultural struggle to determine what role race issues would play in the definition of being Presbyterian., Alvis describes how the Presbyterian Church, U.S., shaped and was shaped by its regional culture, and explores its struggle to determine what role racial issues would have in the definition of being "Presbyterian."
