Hello All,

I'm currently reading "Buildng Communities from the Inside Out" by Kretzmann and McKnight. I just finished reading a couple of articles entitled: "Citizen Participation, Neighborhood Planning and Empowerment of the Poor" and "African American Religion: The Struggle for Community Development in a Southern City". I must say both were excellent really helped me understand whythings are the way they are in our community.
