Did it help bring Eastern religion into the country? Make it more widespread? If not that, is a specific religion relevant? Religion in general? | ||

Yes. Seminary students were excused from the draft, which I think is outrageous, especially in a country founded on the separation of church & staterelevant religion - christianity? yes islam? I heard only of Christians & Jews doing this, but Muslims could have too, and maybe some did. Islam was rare in America in those days, or at least kept a low profile jewish religion? yes monks relevant? no | ||

Since it was an increase in the number of ministers, did the number of churches increase? Or did something about the faith itself change? I could see that if there were more people becoming ministers solely to avoid the draft, it would dilute the faith, so to say...relevant? | ||

Possible lack of moral conviction in the resulting clergy relevant? Like they failed to set a good moral example? Is the concept that more ordained ministers would mean less need for the work of laymen relevant? | ||

Is there some status or mindset present in those that escaped the draft that contributed to the change? Or is it simply the increased number of ministers that resulted in the change? | ||

Did they start doing something they hadn't done before? Or stop doing something they were doing prior? Or both? Is it something that might have affected all denominations of Christianity? Is it related to strictness of moral teching? Is it related to preaching? | ||

Going to a seminary is a way of avoiding the draft in the US, so many people probably did that in every war (when the US had a draft, which it didn't always & fortunately no longer does). But with the Vietnam war, draft resisters often had a political reason; they opposed the war itself. Such opposition, unlike a general unwillingness to risk life & limb, was much more common in the Left than the Right. So during the Vietnam war, many seminaries filled up with liberals & leftists, which is often given as a reason for a leftward tilt in mainstream Christianity & Judaism in the US after about 1970. Of course, the US has a prominent Religious Right, but mainline denominations like Episcopalians (formerly called "the Republican Party at prayer"), Methodists, Lutherans, & Conservative (!) Jews, have all moved leftward. Please move downward to find a harder puzzle--I hope. |
