| Summary: | This research, via secondary data analysis, examines the effects of type of seminary attended (Carroll, 1971) or nonseminary graduation on professional role preferences of persons who served as pastors of the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church during the 1960-1970 period. It is found that graduate school seminaries produced pastors more change-oriented than other types of seminaries, while the religious community produced persons more oriented toward the local parish and the vocational school graduates occupied an intermediate position between those two. Nongraduates are found to be strikingly similar to religious community graduates. It is concluded that type of seminary education impacts not only later theological position (Carroll, 1971) but also has an enduring effect on role preferences. Indications of other enduring effects are explored. |
