This paper reports a study of clergy attitudes concerning an ecumenical Christian agency. A sample of clergy in Middletown (N=126) were asked about whether any of2 7 activities were appropriate for such an agency, about the importance of these activities, and about the appropriateness of various tactics for such an agency. The results were analyzed for the entire sample by church-type and by the theological views of the respondents. Broad support was found for only three activities: lessening drug abuse, lessening teenage pregnancy, and lessening family abuse. Beyond these activities, conservatives and liberals favored different ecumenical programs. The paper concludes with comments about developing interchurch agencies.
