There is a growing recognition and movement within Black churches and among Black and Womanist theologians to bring sex, sexuality, and the erotic ‘out of the closet’ in African American Christianity and into the light. This course will explore some of the strands of black sexuality and their relation to the Black Church, with the intention of addressing the implications and possibilities for developing a more healthy attitude and approach to issues of sex, sexuality, and ethical leadership for ministry. The course pedagogy will, in part, be determined by interest and class enrollment.
