| Summary: | A 1973 survey of the members of the Religious Research Association (RRA) and individual subscribers to its journal, "Review of Religious Research" (RRA), reveals a constituency that consists predominantly of males who are ordained Protestant clergymen, over half of whom are employed in college and university teaching, sociology being their leading subject field. Half of the members have belonged for six years or more, and two-thirds of the members also belong to the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR), and more than half are members of the American Sociological Association. The "RRR" and the "Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion" were evaluated as the most helpful of five journals rated. Some ambivalence about the future independence of the RRA was evident, but in general there is a favorable orientation toward cooperative activities with the SSSR and Association for the Sociology of Religion. Current dilemmas of RRA leaders can be overcome by explicit planning to maximize its distinctive objectives for it is a viable organization. |
