| Summary: | An examination of social participation of members of a Roman Catholic women's religious order undergoing renewal in response to Vatican II provides an opportunity to explore processes of internal change and their relationship to members' increased activity in society. Organizational participation rates are more than twice as high as those reported five years earlier. Age and socio-economic status are strongly associated with participation. Belonging to organizations has a significant impact on active involvement and participation on current social issues, and this effect is maintained when controlling for background variables. Organizational involvement increases activity on issues of traditional concern as well as directly on political issues. Evidence indicates that the increases in social participation will continue in the future. |
