When leaders are faced with decisions about controversial issues they may be required to "put themselves in others' shoes." Leaders must also take into account the political ramifications of their taking an unpopular stand on an issue.
Leaders must be able to clarify and articulate their positions on a range of subjects and be able to respond to questions or the arguments of their detractors.

 H-Net Review: Alexandra Minna Stern on Preaching Eugenics: Religious Leaders and the American Eugenics Movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Rosen effectively demonstrates that, regardless of denomination, most of the religious leaders who embraced eugenics were "modernistic liberals" searching for promising avenues of Progressive social reform.
While a tad too simplistic, this clarification--between means and ends--does offer insight into the continuum conceptualized by many religious leaders, which contained utopian visions of human and spiritual perfection on one end and concrete strategies of race betterment and social reform on the other.
For instance, although Rosen illustrates how Jewish leaders vacillated on the concept of "race purity" and the benefits or drawbacks of intermarriage, she teaches us very little about what liberal Protestants and Catholics thought about race and ethnicity in genetic terms or about the potential impact of such thinking on sermonizing or congregational dynamics.

 SIF Research: 1995 Trends Report
Socially responsible investing in the United States is alive and well in 1995, two years after the end of the South Africa divestment movement that helped fuel its rise during the 1970s and 1980s.
Additionally, through shareholder activism, some investment companies and others involved in responsible investing use their stake in "problem" companies as a means to encourage the abandonment of irresponsible policies and products.
The prevalence of multiply screened portfolios and the strong demand on the part of religious and individual clients left the socially responsible investment world well positioned to minimize and even offset any post-apartheid drop in demand on the part of government and non-government institutional investors.
