A survey of 25 African American church leaders in three urban school districts was conducted to determine the role of the African American church in urban school reform. Survey results identified five major issues. First, church leaders recognized many of the serious inadequacies in urban education. Second, church leaders were looking "inward" for solutions to educational problems rather than "outward" for opportunities to affect educational policy. The third issue was the perceived barriers to involvement in education issues. The fourth issue was the leaders' perceptions of future educational challenges, and the fifth issue was realization of the potential political power of the African American church.
