What is Disciples of the Street : The Promise of a Hip Hop Church about?

What would cause a small, 140-year-old, Episcopal Church in the heart of the South Bronx to begin offering hip-hop services? How would the church, both locally and nationally, react? <p>Utilizing scores of interviews and months of research, <em>Disciples of the Street</em> is the story of one church's engagement with hip-hop religion, the conflicts that ensued, and the resulting birth of something much larger. Following that small hip-hop religious movement from its inception in the summer of 2004 through its building of a national profile, in a story that moves from the birthplace of rap to youth detention facilities in Virginia to the New South and all manner of places in-between,<br> Gutierrez looks deeply into the questions of what hip-hop has to say to the traditional church and what the church might say to hip-hop culture.</p><p><i><br> Disciples of the Street</i> is a compelling story well told and the definitive look at the issues facing a movement that's growing in popularity and gaining traction around the country.</p>
