| Summary: | John Henry Newman's experience of prolonged, intense conflict regarding the ministry as a career provides rich data for the study of vocational identity. This discussion stresses the influence of both personal experience and social factors in this conflict. His misgivings regarding the ministry are traced to his father's influence toward a "secular" career and to the declining prestige of the ministry in early nineteenth-century England. His attraction to the ministry is traced to his grandmother's strong confirmation of his "call" to an extraordinary religious career and to the instability of contemporary English life which led him to seek security in the church. |
