Parishes are the missing middle in studies of American Catholicism.
Between individual Catholics and a global institution, the
thousands of local parishes are where Catholicism gets remade.
American Parishes showcases what social forces shape parishes, what
parishes do, how they do it, and what this says about the future of
Catholicism in the United States. Expounding an embedded field
approach, this book displays the numerous forces currently
reshaping American parishes. It draws from sociology of religion,
culture, organizations, and race to illuminate basic parish
processes, like leadership and education, and ongoing parish
struggles like conflict and multiculturalism. American Parishes
brings together contemporary data, methods, and questions to
establish a sociological re-engagement with Catholic parishes and a
Catholic re-engagement with sociological analysis. Contributions by
leading social scientists highlight how community, geography, and
authority intersect within parishes. It illuminates and analyzes
how growing racial diversity, an aging religious population, and
neighborhood change affect the inner workings of parishes.
