ABSTRACT

Rodgers’ assertion is a powerful piece of prose for its accuracy in reflecting the experiences of many Christian women worshipping in churches across the globe. There is a general paucity of data about Christian women’s experiences of ministers’ and church responses to domestic abuse, and even less frequently heard are the voices of Black1 Christian women (see Grant, 1982, 1989; Weems, 1995). Accessing the latter group continues to pose significant challenges as there is a tendency for Black Christian women to hide and as Rodgers puts it, remain abused and silent while continuing ‘going to church, gittin on they knees and praying’. While there is very little data on Christian victims and survivors from Black-led Pentecostal churches, this chapter turns to an equally neglected area of research, that of the responses of ministers from Black-led Pentecostal churches in the UK to women living with domestic abuse.
