The author explores the subject of assertiveness and ministry. He assumes that ministers are less assertive than the general population and that Wesleyan ministers are less assertive than non-Wesleyan ministers. He tests 282 ministers in Michigan (who represent the Wesleyans, and 4 other denominations) by using the adult self-expression scale. The study finds that ministers in general (except for Wesleyans) are significantly more assertive than the general population. Wesleyan ministers are significantly less assertive than non-Wesleyans. Assertiveness is compared with passive and aggressive expressions. Results show that a strong need exists for assertiveness training for many clergy.
