Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In the 2004 elections, same-sex marriage bans swept through the states with ease, passing in Ohio (as Issue 1) with over three-fifths support. We surveyed clergy around Columbus conducted just after the election, having clergy serve as organizational informants. That is, the survey instrument included a significant battery tapping the participation of clergy in ministerial organizations (MOs), the extent to which these extra-congregational organizations were engaged with Issue 1, and the internal dynamics of MOs. Employing a blend of clergy political behavior, interest group, and social movement theories, we suspect that most MOs are limited in their ability to respond to the Issue 1 conflict. The internal diversity of MOs as well as the divisive nature of the issue constrain them. At the same time, MOs exist in some tension with the community in their ministries, which may include calling some to account and engaging a prophetic role. While clergy challenge, they are also representatives of their faith and congregations, a finding gaining support for other clergy politics inquiries.
