| Summary: | The role of theology and other "belief" variables in explaining clergy civil rights activism was investigated with a national sample of clergy from five Protestant denominations.

Multivariate analysis reveals, however, that the "belief" variables are related to civil rights activism mostly in an indirect fashion via political ideology. |
