Abstract
15 conservative and 15 liberal theological items were administered to 77 Baptist ministers and deaconesses in New Zealand, along with the Rokeach Scale, Personal Orientation Inventory, General Conservatism Scale, N. Z. Ethnocentrism Scale, and Edwards Personal Preference Schedule. The theological conservative was significantly more dogmatic, conservative, ethnocentric, and non-self-actualizing than the theologically liberal minister. Factor analysis yielded a single factor on the Scale for Theological Conservatism.Keywords
