First published in 1977, Clergy, Ministers and Priests provides the
first sociological analysis to have been undertaken in this country
of the differences in value orientation between clergy in the
Church of England, ministers in the Methodist Church and priests in
the Roman Catholic Church. Five important areas of values are
covered: theological outlook, views on the role of the religious
functionary, attitudes towards ecumenism, views on institutional
reform, and ideas about the organisational nature of the church.
Going beyond the description, the authors examine various
explanations for the existence of these differences. First, they
consider the interplay of the values themselves. A second approach
deals with structural factors related to the denomination such as
the social role played by the clergy. Finally, non-denominational
social experience is considered, including class origins and the
educational background of the clergy. This study will be of
interest to scholars and researchers of sociology of religion,
religion, and Christianity.
