Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to develop a model for use in African-American Baptist churches. It will determine the independent variables and dependent variable that affect female pastors' quality of involvement in the churches. The findings in this study will enable female pastors in the Baptist church to utilize the information gained to eradicate barriers within the faith community and thereby make gains numerically and effectively. Chapter 1 explores theological and historical data on women pastors in the Methodist and Baptist traditions. This includes the analysis of varied traditions of women as pastors with insight into the struggles that have broken through identified barriers. The second chapter reviews the literature around women in minority in the African-American Methodist and Baptist churches. The third chapter discusses the historical framework of the Black church and the struggles of Black women preachers. The fourth and fifth chapters explain and present surveys and discuss the data. In chapter 6, suggestions for future research grow out of the summary of the data and recommendations.
