Abstract
A group of 48 Protestant clergymen from seven denominations attending an urban training program in a northern metropolis were given an opportunity to participate in a civil rights demonstration. Most of them did participate and 25 chose to be arrested. Arrestees tended to be younger, occupied positions that were not directly responsible to all-white congregations, came from denominations that had taken a strong stand in favor of integration, and tended to have roommates who also chose arrest. Several theoretical perspectives for interpreting the results are explored.
