More black churches involved in Habitat build CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT The effort to recruit black churches to an ambitious Habitat for Humanity of Forsyth County project is picking up speed and head ed to the finish line. But organizers still need more manpower and dollars to get there. Over the last month, the number of church es participating in the Apostle's Build have grown from 13 to 25. The project is the first of its kind frfi* the local Habitat agency. African American houses of worship are not only financing the construction of a house for a local family, but church members are building the home, as well. The house, which is nearly complete, is in the Glen Oaks development off of Trade Street and Glenn Avenue. The community used to be known as Kimberley Park Terrace but has undergone a metamorphosis over the last sev eral years. Lorraine^ Comer, an employee at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical^ Center, and her two daughters will live in the three-bedroom, two-bath home. The family, like 95 percent of Habitat fam ilies, are African-American; therefore. Habitat of Forsyth has increased its efforts to reach out to the black community to assist in fundraising and building efforts.

The event is free and open to the public. Since the mid-1990s Kuran has sought to under stand why the Middle East, which once had a high stan dard of living by global stan dards, subsequently fell behind in economic produc tion, organizational capability, technological creativity, democratization and military strength. He believes the eco nomic and educational institu tions of Islam, though well suited to the era in which they emerged, were poorly suited to a dynamic industrial econo my. His recent papers have identified obstacles involving inheritance practices, contract law, procedures of the courts, the absence of corporations, the financial system and the delivery of social services.
