THE RELATIONSHIP OF PSYCHOLOGICAL VALUES AND NEEDS TO VOCATIONAL ROLE PREFERENCES AMONG JEWISH SEMINARIANS.
Abstract
The years following World War II saw an upsurge of interest in religion and the church in the United States. This "return to religion" as it has been labelled by the mass media made itself evident through "new church buildings going up everywhere, clergymen's salaries being raised, and denominational memberships swelling by the tens of thousands (Moore, 1957, p. 65)."In the last decade, however, this picture has altered considerably. Lenn described this change in the following words:Almost all religious organizations which were flourishing (at least in terms of full pews), from World War II to about 1960, started to com- plain that they were beginning to experience some- thing akin to the initial tremors of an earthquake and by the time the second half of the decade was launched, the full force of the earthquake had al- ready unleashed its fury in widely different sectors. God was dead. The pews were emptying. Roman Catholicism, the Protestant denominations, and Judaism began to identify dysfunctional apparatus, rebellious youth, recalcitrant clergy, and "lost" congregants and parishioners going every which way (1972, p. 5).
