Traditionally the Black church tends to teach more about religion than spirituality and is virtually silent regarding sexuality. This project focuses on how this tradition adversely affects the single, heterosexual Protestant Black woman's understanding of herself as a sexual being. Using the qualitative research method of phenomenology, this research explores how Black women's experiences and other sources for theological ethics can inform their desire to reconcile sexual and spiritual goodness. This report reveals that the difficulty in this reconciliation has roots in the larger issues of church-condoned gender hierarchy, Christianity's hierarchal dualism, and American (USA) race-based oppression and injustice.
