| Summary: | In recent years, evangelical renewal movements have arisen within mainline Protestant denominations. While in the past, such sectarian movements have often split with their parent denominations, these groups express no such desire, but instead are adamant that they want to remain within their denominations and return them to the faith of their founders. Although it is clear that evangelical renewal movements draw their support from theological conservatives, it is unclear whether they come from mainline Protestant backgrounds or from another religious tradition such as evangelical Protestantism. Human capital theory suggests a higher probability that conservative mainline Protestants come from mainline Protestant backgrounds than from other religious backgrounds. Analysis of the 1996-1998 General Social Surveys provides support for this prediction. After discussing the results, a number of directions for future research are identified. |
