“…Recent studies have found differences in the demographic profile of noncongregational clergy (Perry , ; Schleifer and Cadge ) as well as the compensation processes for clergy working outside of the congregational setting (Schleifer and Chaves ). To capture any differences across occupational setting for bivocational clergy, we use the CPS industry codes.…”

Transitions in the American religious landscape including religious nonaffiliation, congregational and seminary enrollment declines, and the proliferation of megachurches have reshaped the clergy labor market and increased the precariousness of this type of work. One potential indication of this growing instability is the supposedly increasing number of bivocational clergy who depend on a second job to supplement their income. There are few reliable data, however, that can trace out national-level trends of bivocational clergy. Using the Current Population Survey, this study tests whether there has been any proportional increase in bivocational clergy and to what extent such an increase has been localized to certain groups. We find that the percentage of clergy who report having a second job has not increased since 1996. However, clergy who are female, unmarried, or working in the American northeast are increasingly likely to report working a second job. These trends suggest that clergy who receive occupational advantages-due to gender or marital status-or who live in highly religious/low costof-living regions of the country may be protected from taking on a second job whereas those clergy without these advantages increasingly must depend on additional sources of income.

“…In addition, the understanding of donors and their behaviours is widely considered to be fundamental for the successful development of fundraising strategies (Webb et al ., ; Lindahl & Conley, ; Thornton, ; Perry, ), being this issue highly appraised by the pro‐social literature.…”

The topic of donations is one of high relevance and has been widely covered in contemporary marketing literature. It is a topic of interest to both theoreticians and practitioners alike, particularly due to its implicit links to fundraising activities and research. The reality of what makes an individual donor ultimately part with his money and give it away to a nonprofit organization is a hot contemporary topic. This study looks into the role of religiosity as a predictor of donations practices. Also volunteerism and compassion, two acts of pro-social behaviour are analysed as predictors of donations practices. Using data collected from a survey of 612 charity donors in Portugal, the results show unequivocally that religiosity does influence donations practices, and so being a predictor of donations practices. Moreover, pro-social behaviour is a predictor of donations practices when in the case of volunteerism, but not in the form of compassion.• The findings are particularly useful for nonprofit organizations that want to attract and retain individual charitable donors and may also help to increase donation regularity, to obtain higher amounts, and donations both to religious and to secular organizations. Finally, it can be stated that the understanding of religiosity sheds light on knowledge about donations practices, and that this study also makes an important contribution to academia, as it is the first study conducted in Portugal that assesses the drivers of donations practices.

“…Other work by Samuel Perry (2012, 2013), along with other race and religion scholars (e.g. Cobb et al forthcoming), examines the ways race affects religious (multiracial) congregations, evangelical outreach ministries, and interracial evangelical organizations, as well as the ways religion in the United States both perpetuates and contests racial inequality.…”

Sociology of Race and Ethnicity

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Religion is racialized, and race is spiritualized. If we are serious about understanding race and ethnicity in the United States, we must wrestle with this statement and ultimately use it as our guide. As such, we provide a critical overview of the area of race and religion, reviewing the field's focus (or lack thereof) at the nexus of these two dominant areas of American life. We give an overview by era and then focus most carefully on work published in the twenty-first century.
