"Can This Church Live? is the true story of a church that had an opportunity to thrive in the midst of a community that greatly changed its demographics. Matthews directs readers through this painful process he experienced with the pastor and church leaders as they faced a harsh dilemma - a dilemma that more and more churches are facing today - can or will a predominantly white church embrace and welcome the people of color who live within the community?"--BOOK JACKET.
