DIMENSIONS OF INTERDENOMINATIONAL MOBILITY IN THE UNITED STATES.
Stark and Glock, among others, argue that there is a general tendency in this country for persons to switch to denominations more liberal, theologically, than those of their parents. A closer look at their own data using a factor analytic technique, however, suggests that this hypothesis may be too...

A closer look at their own data using a factor analytic technique, however, suggests that this hypothesis may be too simple. Denominational switching occurs essentially without reference to the liberal or conservative stance of the denominations involved, and changes of denomination are made in such a way as to preserve similarity along other dimensions. These other dimensions include a Protestant-Catholic cleavage, accessibility (in both the geographic and social status senses), and liturgy. No net intergenerational change in one direction or the other is observable along any of these dimensions. While switching does occur so as to maintain similarity along these dimensions, the direction of change along any one of them is essentially random. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion (Wiley-Blackwell) is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
