Historically, African-American clergy have provided support to people who have experienced abuse; however, little research has been conducted which assesses their own perceptions and experiences related to abuse, particularly to domestic abuse. This researcher utilized survey method and focus groups to describe the domestic violence-related perceptions and experiences of a cohort of African-American clergy in divinity school, to explain the relationship between their perceptions and experiences surrounding domestic violence, and to explore some of the differences in perceptions and experiences based on gender. Using the Inventory on Beliefs about Wife Beating and the Presbyterian Panel Survey on Interpersonal Violence, the researcher explored the cohort's general perceptions surrounding domestic violence, and specifically considered justifications for domestic violence and help provisions related to domestic violence. Using the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale and the Presbyterian Panel Survey on Interpersonal Violence, the researcher explained the cohort's experiences surrounding domestic violence by considering negotiation, psychological aggression, physical assault, sexual coercion and injury related to domestic violence. Focus groups were used to explore some of the differences in the perceptions and experiences based on gender. Elements of social-cognitive theory, empowerment theory, and conflict theory served as the conceptual framework. The sample included students enrolled in a variety of programs at an historically black school of divinity. The data were analyzed using note-based analysis, descriptive statistics, simple percentage comparisons, Independent T-Test and Pearson Correlation. This study's findings indicate a need to understand the complexity related to domestic violence perceptions, secrecy regarding domestic violence experiences, the need for domestic violence education and consideration of appropriate theories related to domestic violence. The research has broad implications for social work and divinity, and the researcher concludes that social workers and African-American clergy must engage in introspection and dialogue surrounding domestic violence experiences, ethical responsibility, theological paradoxes, gender-neutral education programs and policies. Helping clergy understand all elements of domestic violence, and providing support for those who have been impacted by domestic violence is important if there is any hope in reducing the rates of domestic violence within the African-American community.
