Absence of many African American males from any meaningful relation to Christian churches presents a multifaceted, complex, challenging dilemma for churches of every denomination. Psychological assessment, sociological perspective, and theological analysis are necessary to an understanding of the spirituality of African American males and their relationships to churches. Masculinity issues and anger are primary psychological factors. Societal definitions of masculinity, institutions of male socialization, and work's relationship to self-esteem are crucial sociological influences. The role of the church, anthropomorphisms in relation to images of evil, the earthly father image in relation to the heavenly father image, and the contrast of the Nation of Islam with Christian churches offer essential theological insight. This project offers strategies to reverse patterns of declining spirituality, adherence, and attendance among African American males.
