Abstract

The goal of the project was to gain knowledge about the attitudes and expectations of laypersons regarding the integrity of clergy, especially as such attitudes relate to ministers' fitness for congregational leadership. The methodology employed the Factorial Survey Approach among laypersons in congregations of American Baptist, Church of the Brethren, and General Conference Mennonite denominations. The hypothesis that a double standard exists in laypersons' expectations of the integrity of ordained versus non-ordained church leadership was not supported by the data collected. The significant factor for the respondents was the behavior; vocation, avocation, age, gender did not influence judgments.
