 @book{crumbley_2012, title={Saved and sanctified: the rise of a storefront church in Great Migration Philadelphia}, DOI={10.5744/florida/9780813039848.001.0001}, abstractNote={During the early twentieth century, millions of southern blacks moved north to escape the violent racism of the Jim Crow South and to find employment in urban centers. They transplanted not only themselves but also their culture; in the midst of this tumultuous demographic transition emerged a new social institution, the storefront sanctified church.Saved and Sanctified focuses on one such Philadelphia church that was started above a horse stable, was founded by a woman born sixteen years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and is still active today. "The Church," as it is known to its members, offers a unique perspective on an under-studied aspect of African American religious institutions.Through painstaking historical and ethnographic research, Deidre Helen Crumbley illuminates the crucial role these oftentimes controversial churches played in the spiritual life of the African American community during and after the Great Migration. She provides a new perspective on women and their leadership roles, examines the loose or nonexistent relationship these Pentecostal churches have with existing denominations, and dispels common prejudices about those who attend storefront churches. Skillfully interweaving personal vignettes from her own experience as a member, along with life stories of founding members, Crumbley provides new insights into the importance of grassroots religion and community-based houses of worship.Author: Crumbley, Deidre Helen Publisher: University Press of Florida Illustration: N Language: ENG Title: Saved and Sanctified: The Rise of a Storefront Church in Great Migration Philadelphia Pages: 00220 (Encrypted PDF) On Sale: 2012-04-22 SKU-13/ISBN: 9780813039848 Category: Religion : Christianity Denominations}, publisher={Gainesville: University Press of Florida}, author={Crumbley, D.

Generally lacking in specialized labor skills, they arrived in Philadelphia at a time when industry was shifting to the suburbs. Founding members who referred to each other as "saints" settled in the inner city, and most worked for, or were clients of, Jews. Yet, in spite of the middleman role of Jews in their community, the saints shared positive sentiments toward Jews, invoking them as role models of success.}, number={1}, journal={Anthropology and Humanism}, author={Crmbley, D.

What might findings suggest about the impact of both internal organisational processes and extra-institutional pressures on the routinization of charisma? This article addresses these questions by examining the rise of Christ Apostolic Church, an Aladura church of the Yoruba of Nigeria, and focusing on the interplay of first, the global propagation of Christianity; second, colonial domination; third, symbolic reformulation; and finally, the pursuit of well-being in the face of epidemic disease. This investigation provides a case study of how people negotiate social and natural obstacles while constructing enduring institutional structures. Furthermore, it is argued that, rather than obstructing this religious movement, epidemics, colonial domination and missionary opposition fuelled its transformation into an institutional church.}, number={2}, journal={RELIGION}, author={Crumbley, DH}, year={2000}, month={Apr}, pages={169–184} }
