Reweaving the Fabric
by Ron Nored
Faced with decay and crime, the people of Bethel A.M.E. Church in the Ensley community of Birmingham decided to rebuild rather than to run. Their story is a model that can help save our inner cities. The story is told by the Rev. Ron Nored, a quiet but determined African Methodist Episcopal minister. How Nored and his church members became motivated and how they inspired others to join with them is a textbook case of faith, civic involvement, institutional partnerships, and creative thinking. The good news, Nored says, is that other communities can do the same thing, and his book tells them how. First, he walks readers through the decaying neighborhood of Sandy Bottom, with its high unemployment, boarded up storefronts, substandard housing, drugs, and crime. Then he shows how the community made a pact and a plan for change. Eight years later, the neighborhood is renamed Sandy Vista, and the shotgun houses have been replaced by new single-family dwellings, the vacant lots have been replaced by parks, new sidewalks and street lights are in place, and youth and jobs programs are at work. Nored tells step-by-step how the planning was done, how the partnerships were created, how the goals were set and monitored, and how the inevitable setbacks were addressed and overcome. An appendix provides helpful planning documents and other resources which can be studied and adapted for use in other communities.
