| Σύνοψη: | Many clergymen have responded to the ambiguity in their social role by combining secular employment with their religious work. After considering possible ways in which religious and secular roles can be combined, data are presented from a national questionnaire survey of 620 "nonstipendiary" Episcopal priests. Findings are (1) the nonstipendiary clergyman closely resembles his parish counterpart except for a significantly greater amount of advanced secular education, (2) there is a unique group of clergymen who have always been nonstipendiary, (3) the occupational situs changes of the men in the sample, while substantial, are nevertheless predictable and (4) the nonstipendiary clergyman has a strong commitment to his unique occupational role. The nonstipendiary movement contains substantial implications for the church as an organization and for the ministry as an occupation. It is most appropriately seen as "occupational role recomposition." |
