The Sociology of Religion Durkheim's earlier concern with social regulation was in the main focused on the more external forces of control, more particularly legal regulations that can be studied, so he argued, in the law books and without regard to individuals. Later he was led to consider forces of control that were internalized in individual consciousness. Being convinced that "society has to be present within the individual," Durkheim, following the logic of his own theory, was led to the study of religion, one of the forces that created within individuals a sense of moral obligation to adhere to society's demands. Durkheim had yet another motive for studying the functions of religionnamely, concern with mechanisms that might serve to shore up a threatened social order. In this respect he was in quest of what would today be described as functional equivalents for religion in a fundamentally a-religious age. par excellence , inspiring communal devotion to ethical ends that transcended individual purposes. But if the reign of traditional religious orientations had now ended, what would take their place? Would the end of traditional religion be a prelude to the dissolution of all moral community into a state of universal breakdown and anomie? Such questions intensified Durkheim's concern with the sociology of religion, adding to the intrinsic interest he had in terms of the internal logic of his system. Basic to his theory is the stress on religious phenomena as communal rather than individual. "A religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to sacred things, that is to say, things set apart and forbiddenbeliefs and practices which unite in one single moral community called a Church, all those who adhere to them."

What is the Sociology of Religion? The sociology of religion is a discipline that objectively hold various religions and religious phenomena, and sociologically understand them. Of course, it is not a discipline which judges religion in certain value; "this religion is right, that religion is wrong". Since Auguste Comte, who is a founder of the sociology, religion has believed a significant social phenomena for siciology. Comte tried to substitute the sociology for the religion(Christianity). In this sence, sociology was opposed religion. Comte's ideas were not gradually accepted, but sociologists needed to explain the role of religion in society, and the causes and circumstances of the changes in that role. Sociologists needed to interpret the functions of religion in societies of past. When Max Weber accounted that the capitalism had developed in West only, he regarded the religion as source of value-systems that determine social organigation. He ascribed a role of social development to religion. Emile Durkheim analyzed the latent functions, which society was influenced by religion. He believed that society needed agencies that subserved consensus, and there had, in the past, been supplied by religion.

Nesbitt [*] DEVELOPING AN INVOLVEMENT IN RESEARCH ON WOMEN CLERGY Continue article Advertisement We both became involved in studying the situation of women in the clergy as doctoral students. Our individual research interests in women entering the ordained ministry were confirmed after receiving our degrees, as sociologists employed in seminary environments. However, our history of involvement in research on women clergy is quite different, reflecting both our own social locations and the timing of our entry into the field. This awareness was broadened after getting my degree when I came to Hartford Seminary. In 1979, Jackson Carroll, Barbara Hargrove, and I began research, funded by the Ford Foundation, on the experiences of the first large wave of women M.Div. graduates who were also the first women pastors most members of their congregations had ever seen in their congregations or in their communities. This research eventuated in the 1983 book, Women of the cloth: A new opportunity for churches.
