Furthermore, Wellman asserts, "Only a small fraction of the church actively share their faith with the lost. Less than 1 in 10 will share their faith with at least one other person in a lifetime. Only 1 in 20 will ever lead someone to faith in Christ during their life. Only two percent of church members invite an unchurched person to church. Ninety-eighty percent of church-goers never extend an invitation in a given year.” That is why for most Christians it’s called the “great…

The Beaulieu and Continelli article aims to establish a link between community and neighborhood organization, and the rates of concentrated disadvantage. This not only looks at the disadvantage faced by minorities, but the possible advantages that could be gained by white communities through this organization. Along the lines of community organization is the access that all people have to necessary resources. In some cases the access to these resources is limited by economic disadvantage, and in…
