| Summary | "The Demand and the Supply of Increased Efficiency in the Negro Ministry" by Jesse E. Moorland is an academic treatise published in the early 20th century that examines the crucial role of the Negro minister in the uplift of the African American community. This book addresses both the pressing demand for more proficient ministers and the systemic supply issues that have led to a shortage of well-trained clergy. The work reflects on the historical and social context of the time, emphasizing the vital intersection of religion and progress in shaping the future of African Americans. In this thorough examination, Moorland argues that the efficiency and character of ministers directly impact the moral and spiritual advancements of their communities. He critiques existing theological education systems and the lack of qualified candidates entering the ministry, attributing this to societal attitudes that favor material success over spiritual leadership. The author calls for a revitalization of the ministry, encouraging parents and churches to support young men entering this vocation. He highlights the need for a broad and practical education for ministers to effectively lead and address contemporary societal issues. Ultimately, the book serves as a urgent call to action for improved training and recruitment in the Negro ministry to foster a more profound cultural and spiritual renaissance.
