요약An experiment in pastoral leadership was conducted at the First Baptist Church of Reseda, California, in the Fall of 1990 with respect to the volatile issue of abortion. The pastor of the church--the author of this dissertation--used his position and pulpit to influence the thinking and behavior of his parishioners insofar as their personal and political orientation toward this topic is concerned. Given the scriptural, spiritual, and moral overtones of the national controversy swirling about this matter, the pastor felt that he could justify both preaching on abortion and mobilizing his people to take constructive action in behalf of America's unborn. In September and October, 1990, four sermons were delivered in which (1) various passages of Scripture (in both the Old and New Testaments) bearing on the sanctity of life were expounded, (2) specific suggestions were given so that motivated listeners could get involved in combatting abortion appropriately and effectively, and (3) the Judeo-Christian ethic on sexual morality was defended and applied. Public-opinion surveys administered both before and after the sermon series revealed that the pastor's leadership in this vein did have a definite effect on congregational attitudes and activities, with a number of parishioners changing their views on certain facets of the controversy, registering to vote so as to make a difference at the polls on Election Day, November 6, and so on. The feedback from the pew convinced the writer that his initial, underlying assumption about the congregation's receptivity to his leadership in this regard was valid and accordingly that this project had been a success both in conception and execution.
