In the past, clergy malfeasance was mentioned only in passing by
group members or adherents. The subject was invisible and those who
studied it were often stigmatized as hostile to religion itself.
Today clergy misconduct is acknowledged as a social problem with
growing conceptual and theoretical implications. In Pastoral
Misconduct, Anson Shupe and Janelle M. Eliasson-Nannini argue that
the history and traditions of black pastoral leadership, coupled
with the close identity of many black congregants with their
pastor, congregation, and racial subculture, creates opportunity
structures that facilitate predatory behavior. Familiarity and
mutual identity frequently leads victims to drop their normal
levels of wariness. Major denominations and minor sects have been
studied, but this unique study by Shupe and Eliasson-Nannini
pursues nuances of pastoral bad behavior in a new context. This
book is not a tabloid treatment of the American black church. In
fact, the black church becomes the vehicle for a major new
sociological development: a theory of clergy misconduct in any
minority religion.
