The Alleluia Community is a unique Christian community of over
three hundred committed charismatic Christians in Augusta, Georgia,
who live a covenant and ecumenical lifestyle. Emerging from the
Charismatic Renewal Movement of the 1960s, members of Alleluia have
maintained a lively charismatic dimension of the Christian
tradition with a willingness to make a life-time covenant
commitment to each other. Since 1973, this group of people has
exhibited heroic virtue, self-sacrifice, humility, deference for
one another, and service to others outside their boundaries. They
claim to be guided by the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Their
leaders lead with a strong sense of service and Christian love and
a willingness to lay down their own agendas. A major feature of
these covenant makers is that they strive for daily Christian unity
while being committed to one of the twelve-plus various
denominations and fellowships. Swenson had the opportunity of
living among these people for twenty months. During this time, he
used a mixed method approach involving over one hundred interviews
and three hundred instruments to create both qualitative and
quantitative measures of the lives of these people. To structure
their story, he used the dilemmas of the institutionalization of
religion from the scholarship of Thomas O'Dea and secularization
theory. The data gathered give abundant evidence that these
Alleluia faithful have substantively resisted the secular influence
so common in Western culture.
