Faith-based aid not going to most black N.J. churches

The Bush administration's faith-based initiative is reaching few black churches in New Jersey because it is not well publicized, churches are wary of federal involvement and smaller congregations lack the resources to apply for funding, local pastors say.

The pastors' comments echo the findings of a recently released national study which found only a small number of black churches -- the very type the initiative aims to help -- have received federal money under the president's program, the Faith-Based and Community Initiative...

"I think the people who needed [the funding] the most didn't benefit," said the Rev. James Kuykendall of Agape Christian Ministries in Paterson.
