Historically, the black church has played a pivotal role in setting the foundation for its African American members in politics. For instance, in 1957, Frazier argues how the black church, since the civil rights era, has offered opportunities for its members to cultivate leadership skills through the different positions in church. As a result, the church has been credited with the label of " a nation builder " for the black community. This is based on filling the void left by other institutions and organizations in civic skills development, such as speaking, writing, and working in group settings. However, even though the church has made great strides in fostering leadership skills, it has failed to acknowledge sexism in the church.
Black women have been believed to be the backbone of the church and comprise about 60 to 70 percent of the church members. In addition, Helen Gray, who is a Baptist scholar in her own account, visited many black churches and noticed that most of the pews were filled with women. Given this majority, denominations regulate women to roles that were exclusively designed for them, without giving them the chance to become bishops, pastors, or elders. The black church has failed in the aspect of appeasing its female members needs with the equal chance of acquiring a male members position, such as bishop or pastor. This paper will examine how the black church has succeeded in the aspect of civic skill development for its members and failed in giving its African American female members the opportunity to acquire a male dominated position.
The black church has given African Americans who are in jobs of " low status ", an opportunity to develop civic skills necessary for one to be politically active. Research has been done to show that black churches have more influence on their African American members in building civic skills then the white churches have on their white members. (McDaniel, 2013). In addition, when it comes to assessing the amount of practice of civics skills within the church, African American levels are above Anglo Saxons levels. For instance, Verba, Scholzman, and Brady (2007) argue African Americans in " low status " jobs do not get the chance to practice civic skills at work, such as organizing meetings or giving presentations. These particular civic skills, along with others, are important. The black church succeeds in providing civic development and activities in the form of in-church positions for its African American members.
