| Summary: | This paper is concerned with the determinants of individuals' involvement in ecumentical activity. It focuses on the relationships between the factors that influence ecumenical behavior. Four propositions are examined using data from mainline Protestant congregations. A combination of correlation, regression, and path analysis is used. Religious commitment and a tendency to attach high priority to ecumenical activity are important sources of ecumenism. There also is some indication that willingness to deviate from prevailing church norms makes some contribution, though the evidence on this factor is mixed. Time and resources do not seem to affect people's ecumenical activity. The findings are representative of a larger sample of mainline Protestant congregations. The theoretical and policy implications of these findings are discussed. |
