Public Administration Religion Religious Congregations Social Psychology Social Research Sociology Theology monetary aid policy welfare baptist group identity calvinism church charity perceptions of the poor Appalachia has a persistent problem. It is the problem of poverty. Why are the poor getting poorer? Appalachians themselves address the problem of poverty in various ways. Some support and maintain church charities. Others vote for candidates who will be in favor of governmental monetary aid programs. For many religious Appalachians theological belief informs believers of who they are in relation to others. Some theological beliefs mold the ways Church congregants view themselves and Appalachia’s poor. These beliefs affect one’s willingness to give aid to the poor through church charity or governmental monetary aid programs. Using the Protestant Work Ethic scale developed by Mirels and Garrett in 1971 and a semi-structured interview, attitudes toward hard work, leisure, poverty, church charity, and governmental monetary aid programs are compared and contrasted between Arminian and Calvinist Baptists. 2010-04-16 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1263482625 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1263482625 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
