SP - 155 EP - 161 VL - 41 IS - 2 N2 - Research conducted in California near the peak of social activism in the late 1960s concluded that clergy in general, and the doctrinally orthodox in particular, tended not to address controversial social and political issues from the pulpit. This study, conducted a decade later in North Carolina, found much higher levels of sermonizing on a broad range of social issues. Furthermore, "conservative" clergy are as likely as are "liberal" clergy to address social issues from the pulpit, although some clearly discernible foci of interest are apparent between the two groups.
