Based on original sociological research,
Rust to Renewal explores the attitudes of a transdenominational sample of Youngstown's clergy toward deindustrialization, job loss, and the future of our economy. Written in an academic format while tempered with simple language, Rust to Renewal will appeal to scholars, businesspeople, government leaders, clergy, and lay people alike.

  • The Churches should never have tried to save the steel industry in Youngstown . In so doing, they poured good money after bad & delayed Youngstown's recovery 20 years . Thankfully for its residents & investors, the town is now on its way to joining the rest of the country in the post industrial world.

  • I am in agreement. The Congressman of Youngstown at the time said that the plan was "ill-advised and ill-conceived". Clergy should not run steel mills, plain and simple. The book describes ways that churches can today promote entrepreneurship, local investment, and a positive outlook for the city's future. I agree with you: I believe we have the potential to be a vibrant, renewed city. Thanks for the comments. Dr. Reichard
