Rust to Renewal is about our future.
All of us share a mutual concern for the socio-economic
future of Youngstown. As religious people, we have an
obligation to do our part to bring about positive social
change. But positive change begins with a clear
understanding of our past, an assessment of our present, and
a prospect for our future. Rust to Renewal does just
that: the book provides a starting point for dialog about
the past, present, and future of Youngstown.
We must bring about change together. No
single community organization, civic group, union, church,
or denomination can bring about change alone. We need
each other. In order to work together, we must
understand one another. The research in Rust to
Renewal does just that: it explores the commonalities and
differences that make the religious communities of
Youngstown dynamic and diverse .
There is hope for tomorrow. No
matter how bleak the socioeconomic situation in Youngstown
may seem, there is hope for tomorrow. The core message
of a positive religious is a message of hope.
Youngstown is a community on the brink of transformation, in
a strategic position to capture the spirit of the future.
New jobs, new opportunities, new possibilities are
everywhere. The religious leaders of Youngstown can
help our city realize every possibility in every aspect of
daily living, so that we can bring about a brighter and more
promising tomorrow.
