| Summary: | Survey research methods were used to gather data from 7,442 member and non-member participants of 150 congregations of the United Church of Christ. Respondents were selected at random from the Great Plains, seven S.M.S.A.'s and predominantly Negro congregations of the denomination. White and black parishioners differed in their perception of clergy roles as well as their support of issues raised by the civil rights movement. The more critical issues dividing the parishioners are identified. The church continues to be an instrument of social protest for Negro participants, even when they are a part of a predominantly white, middle-class denomination. |
