Shows how Father Pfleger has aggressively challenged issues in the inner-city parish of St. Sabina from the sale of drugs to billboard advertisements for cigarettes and liquor to gun control. The church has invested in the redevelopment of the community, providing housing, schools, and social services. Describes the church's three-hour services as a blend of Roman Catholicism and black Baptist tradition as Pfleger has sought to adopt Afrocentrism in decor, music and preaching style. Pfleger has also adopted three boys and invited controversial figures as speakers, including Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam.
