520 | |a Churches have been described as the most segregated institutions in American society. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was also noted for its policy of restricting the priesthood to non-black males until 1978. The geographical isolation combined with the official policy in the Mormon church resulted in few blacks joining the LDS Church. In 1978, the LDS church lifted the ban on priesthood ordination for blacks and substantial numbers have joined. The social and demographic characteristics of a snowball sample of 224 black converts to the church are described. The data were coded from oral history interviews conducted for the Charles Redd Center at Brigham Young University. The sample is not random, but probably reflects those black Americans who have joined and remained active in the church. This sample of black Mormons has been upwardly mobile and is middle class. The characteristics of the sample are discussed in terms of the "streams" of religious switching in the United States. | ||
