It was from the pulpit of the Riverside Church that Martin Luther King, Jr., first publicly voiced his opposition to the Vietnam War, that Nelson Mandela addressed U.S. church leaders after his release from prison, and that speakers as diverse as Cesar Chavez, Jesse Jackson, Desmond Tutu, Fidel Castro, and Reinhold Niebuhr lectured church and nation about issues of the day. The greatest of American preachers have served as senior minister, including Harry Emerson Fosdick, Robert J. McCracken, Ernest T. Campbell, William Sloane Coffin, Jr., and James A. Forbes, Jr., and at one time the New York Times printed reports of each Sunday's sermon in its Monday morning edition.
For seven decades the church has served as the premier model of Protestant liberalism in the United States. Its history represents the movement from white Protestant hegemony to a multiracial and multiethnic church that has been at the vanguard of social justice advocacy, liberation theologies, gay and lesbian ministries, peace studies, ethnic and racial dialogue, and Jewish-Christian relations.
A collaborative effort by a stellar team of scholars, The History of the Riverside Church in the City of New York offers a critical history of this unique institution on Manhattan's Upper West Side, including its cultural impact on New York City and beyond, its outstanding preachers, and its architecture, and assesses the shifting fortunes of religious progressivism in the twentieth century.

Review
”The authors describe the complex congregation in exceedingly careful detail, including a number of archival photographs that bring the narrative to life. Unlike so many congregational histories, difficult periods of tension and conflict are presented alongside feel-good rehearsals of the glory days....The authors and the congregation should be commended for this unique contribution to the field of congregational studies. The research is comprehensive.”
-Sociology of Religion"There is much to commend it, and my students will be glad to find such a readable book on their syllabi."
-Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion"This is an excellent scholarly resource on liberal Protestant church history and is recommended for all congregational libraries."
-Church and Synagogue Libraries"A critical history, not a jingoistic celebration....scholarly volume."

Good, basic information (though not the most interesting read!)
By BRIAN A. O'DELL
To my knowledge this is the first book written about The Riverside Church (TRC) in New York City. The book was published in 2004, and I did read it then (full disclosure: I've been a TRC member since 1997). I decided to re-read it in 2010 in light of the congregational 'difficulties' (to put it mildly) that the church has experienced with the loss or 'good riddance' - depending on which member(s) of the church you speak with - of our latest Senior Minister after only 8 months. The 343 page book (with lengthy explanatory footnotes). has six long chapters each written by six scholars not associated / connected with the the church in order to be objective. Each looks at a different aspect of the church either internally or externally to the rest of the world. Since there are 'some' who do see Riverside as the Protestant 'cathedral', 'beacon on the hill'... or 'dinosaur' (again depending on your point of view) 'to the rest of the world' it serves a useful purpose that it should be dissected as to what this church is about. (And at times it does read as interestingly as a science textbook dissection, which is to say, not very!) The essays are uneven I think in the interest factor for outsiders to our church. I think the book IS interesting for those who have been members for awhile - at least a few years - and want to know 'why this chuch IS the way it IS with all its physical grandeur, but less than exciting (in my humble opinon) worship. Wonderful folks who are deeply committed to social justice, but many of whom enjoy playing power politics with and against 'others' and so the church lacks little sense of community. But I digress. Chapter 1 is "The Riverside Church and the Development of Twentieth-Century Protestantism" [I give it a grade of B- as far as interest factor.] Chapter 2 is "Preachers for All Seasons: The Legacy of Riverside's Free Pulpit" [B+ in giving a good overview of the - then - 5 former Senior Ministers, their background, preaching, how each dealt with social justice issue of their particular time (and dealt with the congregation!) and esp. noteworthy sermons each preached.] Chapter 3 is "A Christian Vision of Unity: An Architectural History of the Riverside Church" [Again B- as you wish there were more drawings and photos (no color inserts for God's sake?) and other memorabilia shown.] Chapter 4 is "Universal in Spirit, Local in Character: The Riverside Church and New York City" [B+ This and the next chapters being the 'best' in the book, both look - very honestly and quite critically at times - at how the church has dealt well at times / unsuccessfully at other times with the dynamics of black-white race relations within its membership over the years. But where it has failed miserably (again IMHO) in integrating Latinos/as into the congregation and ignored Asians and their concerns. This in a multicultural city known for its many races and ethnicities. And also, even more problematic perhaps, how the church has failed over the years to adequately look at and deal with issues of class and the poor within the church's surrounding neighboods (other than just preaching about "Emancipation from Poverty" (but not following up - as a church - with concrete, long-term action) - those neighborhoods which haven't been bought up by Columbia University that is!)] Chapter 5 is "The Public Witness of the Riverside Church: An Ethical Assessment" [B which looks at the issues of what the church 'stands for' and how successful it actually is in dealing with those issues.] The last chapter 6: "Congregations within a Congregation: Contemporary Spirituality and Change at the Riverside Church" [C+] which struck me as the least unfocused and lacked the interest factor for me... though it did raise a few interesting points regarding worship and why it is the way it is now, and perhaps not in a good way. Actually in the days of Rev. Fosdick (first Senior Minister) the church had a morning, afternoon and evening worship (the latter for young adults, go figure!) and which over the years was apparently changed to just the ONE morning worship though that reasoning is never explained at all - a justification I'd like to be explored more fully! (More, and different, worship experiences, being a 'plus' in my book!)
