520 |a This paper explores the relationship between ecumenism, specifically Protestant conciliarism, and organizational characteristics; it draws on the well-established view that joint venture activity is correlated with certain organizational characteristics, especially intra-organizational structure. While many theologians and churchmen view theological persuasion as the key determinant in ecumenism, this study uses theology principally as a control variable. There is no doubt that theological views play a significant role in ecumenical activity. However, this paper suggests that intra-organizational variables are also important. In the face of secularization, declining memberships, and rising costs, organizational rationality may be as significant as theology in decisions about ecumenical involvement, and the organizational behavior of religious groups may parallel that of their secular counterparts in joint venture activity.
