| Summary: | Shupe and Heinerman's (1985) intriguing argument for the possibility of an emerging coalition between two traditionally hostile religious movements, Mormonism and elements of Fundamentalist Christianity, is both amplified and clarified. Original data are presented which examine the extent of value congruence on socio-religious issues and the degree of social distance manifest by members of both religious traditions. The paper concludes that while the two groups do exhibit a high degree of value consensus, the continuing hostility of Conservative Christians for Mormons as measured by Religious Social Distance Quotients and the nature of the dynamics of Mormon organizational culture make ongoing coalitions problematic, and that when and if alliances occur, they are likely to form on the margins of both religious movements. |
