THE BLACK BAPTIST DENOMINATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA: A SOCIAL CAPITAL ANALYSIS

The question of the Black church\u27s relevancy, power, and influence has been at the forefront of theological and social debates since the Civil Rights era. The continuation of these debates in the 21st century has postulated that today\u27s Black church has become less theologically grounded and less vision-driven in initiatives and movements and is becoming ineffective advocates in addressing the social ills and challenges that cripple the upward mobility of individuals and communities. This study attempts to support the hypothesis that the Black church still possesses the relevancy, power, and influence as a vital and progressive community institution for positive social change in the twenty-first century. South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist denomination is instrumental in providing empirical knowledge that introduces a proper perspective on how the Black church cultivates and utilizes social capital to promote engagement in social change, thus, supporting its claim of relevancy, power, and influence in this present day and age. This study utilizes a quantitative methodology to describe how Black Baptist churches in South Carolina, through their use of social capital, mobilize congregations for collective effort in shaping civic discourse, bringing about social change and facilitating the development of thriving individuals and communities. A convenience sample of 174 Black Baptist pastors from South Carolina completed a 57-item questionnaire. The overall results revealed that social capital has a positive effect on the likelihood of Black Baptist churches engaging in social change. Regression analyses were used to examine the predictive nature of pastor and congregation characteristics on social capital and social change engagement in South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist churches. A total of nine predictor variables, including the pastor\u27s age, seminary training, employment status, and pastor\u27s view of the role of the church and the church\u27s age, socioeconomic status, location, group importance, and membership size, were used to predict social change engagement and social capital. A correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between social capital and social change engagement in Black Baptist churches in South Carolina. Results from these analyses indicated that seminary-trained and full-time pastors and that larger membership churches both had higher levels of social change engagement. The correlation analysis revealed that there is a significant positive relationship that exists between social capital and social change in Black Baptist churches in South Carolina. These findings have important implications for strengthening and mobilizing South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist pastors and churches for engagement in social change initiatives and movements. This study signifies the unique dynamics of South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist pastors and congregations that guide and impact their usage of social capital in addressing social change issues. The study also supports the need for a qualitative assessment of South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist denomination\u27s degree of effectiveness in engaging in social change issues and challenges. The findings may initiate dialogue and strategic planning that will provide the education, technical assistance, and resources needed for South Carolina\u27s Black Baptist denomination to expand and develop new capacities, and to develop a multi-faceted, systemic approach to address social change issues

The French Have Got a Great Culture, I\u27ve Been to Versailles\u27 (Ted Turner): Towards a 500 Channel World

Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening and thank you very much indeed for the honour and pleasure of being Invited to give the second Annual Rathmines Media Lecture. First of all I owe you a necessary word of explanation for the strange title of this talk , \u27The French have got a great culture - I\u27ve been to Versailles\u27: Towards a 500 Channel World. It sums up rather well some of the themes I want to touch on tonight. I heard these words about French culture spoken during a supposedly serious interview last month. I was on a 24-hour visit to Atlanta. Georgia to interview Ted Turner, the man crazy enough to fly In the face of all conventional wisdom and launch cable news network - 24 hours a day television news by satellite. The CNN service is now broadcast on no less than thirteen satellites ringing the globe, carrying in general a rather American view of the world. The only remaining places on earth where you are safe from CNN, Lou Dobbs and the remorseless, never ending headlines is Antartica and part of Greenland
