The Black Church in the 21st Century by Bishop Dr Joe D Aldred and Ms Keno Ogbo provides an exciting and fresh look at the key issues facing the Black Church Movement in Britain today, representing a bold attempt for scope and analysis.Now over 50 years old, and having experienced great success, the Black Church is facing an uncertain future as part of a context in which Christianity is itself challenged by an increasingly secular, plural society.

Praying with Power is a collection of writings that explores a range of perspectives on prayer, focusing on both the sense of power and the qualities of endurance that, in particular, black Christian attitudes to prayer have epitomized. The contributors address themes as wide-ranging as prayer and faith in the family, the inability to pray, praying for others and the liberating power of prayer.

Preaching with Power. Preaching is taken seriously by Black Christians everywhere as the primary means by which the Gospel is communicated. Black preachers are at work expounding the Gospel to whoever will listen.  Understanding the Gospel as the power of God unto salvation, liberty and freedom, they preach with the urgency of 'a dying man unto a dying world'. Preaching with Power: Sermons by Black Pastors, Cassell, 1998, edited by Joe Aldred.  Price £15.99 (+£2.50 p&p).

Respect: Understanding Caribbean British Christianity. Christians from the Caribbean have settled in Britain since the late 1940s. In spite of high levels of rejection and misunderstanding they have shaped a new British identity which is dynamic, empowering and challenging. The author argues that this no longer majors in the victim-based dialectic of oppression/liberation.  Respect: Understanding Caribbean British Christianity, Epworth 2005, by Joe Aldred.
