dc.descriptionThe 
CVS 
surveyed 
senior 
clergy 
from 
the 
seven 
largest Mainline 
denominations:
 United
 Methodist
 Church,
Evangelical 
Lutheran 
Church 
in 
America, 
American 
Baptist
 Churches 
USA,
 Presbyterian
 Church
 USA, 
Episcopal
 Church,
 United
 Church
 of
 Christ, 
and
 Christian
 Church 
(Disciples 
of
 Christ). On 
a 
range
 of 
policy 
issues, 
Mainline 
Protestant
 clergy 
are 
generally 
more
 supportive
 of 
LGBT
rights 
than 
the
 general 
population,
and 
mostly 
in
line 
with
 Mainline 
Protestants
 overall.
Two‐thirds 
of 
Mainline 
clergy
 support 
hate
 crimes
 legislation 
(67% )
and
 workplace 
protections 
for 
gay
 and 
lesbian
 people 
(66%),
and
 a
 majority
 (55%) 
supports 
adoption
 rights.
Same‐sex 
marriage 
is the
 only
 major
 LGBT
 public
 policy 
issue 
that
 does 
not
 enjoy 
majority
 support 
from
 Mainline
 clergy;
on 
this
 issue,
 

one‐third
 supports
 same‐sex 
marriage 
and
 nearly 
a third 
(32%)
 supports 
civil
 unions.
 There 
are 
significant 
and
 sometimes 
stark 
differences 
across
 denominational 
lines.
