Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The book explores how & why a particular religious tradition is changed, & how & why the practices of evangelism, seeker spirituality, & the consumerist, utilitarian values of American society affect & the traditional practices of a congregation. At its broadest level the book is also about religious & cultural change, & the relationships among religious tradition, community, & moral authority. The author addresses these issues with a study of nine Lutheran congregations in San Francisco. Adapted from the source document.
