Summary:
The impact of faith-based sexual ministries on
black
women
's
sexuality
. How these
women
navigate
sexuality
,
religious
authority, and their spiritual walk with God. Providing churchwomen a space to candidly discuss these issues, these popular ministries exist largely beyond the traditional church, with dialogues about sex taking place in chat rooms and through text messages, social
media
, email, and other
media
. Moultrie foregrounds televangelist Juanita Bynum'
s
construction of the
black
Christian sexual identity these ministries promote while emphasizing how churchwomen reconcile these prescriptive identities with their individual experiences. What does it mean for senior
women
to exercise sexual agency when their church standing could be questioned? What does celibacy mean for
women
who experience same-sex desire while believing that such desire goes against God'
s
will? Moultrie reframes biblical interpretations and conceptions of what constitutes a healthy relationship to provide a basis for sexual decision making that does not privilege monogamy or deny female pleasure, thereby calling on
black
churchwomen to experience responsible and life-enhancing sex. Monique Moultrie is an assistant professor of
religious
studies at Georgia State University.
