Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the different attitudes of Greek Orthodox priests, Greek Orthodox seminarians, Greek Orthodox laymen who were born in Greece, and Greek Orthodox laymen who were born in the United States regarding women in the Church, women in sport and women in society. To determine the attitudes of Greek Orthodox men toward women in the Church, women in sport, and women in society, the answers to eight questions were sought. The subjects were fifteen laymen originally from Greece and fifteen laymen originally from the United States chosen from a stratified random selection in Columbia, South Carolina. Fifteen priests and fifteen seminarians from Holy Cross School of Theology and Hellenic College in Brook line, Massachusetts, were also chosen from a stratified random selection. Lewis' (1974) modification of Brown's (1965) semantic differential technique was utilized as the research technique for this study. The two way analysis of variance was implemented to find empirical evidence. In answering the eight questions, it was found that the empirical evidence, as indicated by the two way analysis of variance, was that: 1) no significant differences existed among the groups of men; 2) no significant differences existed among the concepts; and 3) no significant differences existed between how each group of men viewed each concept.
