520 |a Though the prevailing image of affluent churches is that they are not highly involved in social concerns, there is considerable variation in the extent of their involvement in social ministry. We use an open system, power framework to derive a number of hypotheses explaining why some affluent churches are more involved in social ministry than others. We use data from 31 affluent churches to test these hypotheses. The data suggest that affluent churches are most involved in social ministry when they are affiliated with theologically liberal denominations; women are in leadership roles; lay leaders embrace social justice beliefs; pastors have liberal theologies; and pastors attempt to link faith and social ministry.
