Summary

Riggs discusses African American church life as a case study for ethical reflection about sexual ethics and clergy ethics -- the prevailing silence about sexuality in black churches as well as the fact that sexuality is generally a taboo in Christian tradition.

The author feels that sexism has been perpetrated by misuse of the Scriptures and by circumscribing the role of women, and seeks to transform current discourse about sexual behavior and clergy misconduct from a concentration on formulating policy to re-train.
