Beschreibung

When the Lord's House Closes examines the forces behind the increase in church closings and provides community-centric recommendations for repurposing church buildings. With a focus on cities and communities of color, Melvin Delgado's analysis highlights the rewards and challenges of urban church repurposing. With the aid of case studies, this book considers whether, and how, community needs and interests can be factored into decisions for how a closed church might be used.
