Through ethnographic research, Killian examines vitality in
Philadelphia and Berea, two Christian Intentional Communities whose
participants live in close proximity with one another to achieve
religious values. Pulling from Anthony Giddens' theory of
structuration, Killian argues that the vitality of both communities
cannot be reduced to deterministic structural, individual, or
organizational causes. Rather, vitality in these communities is
affected by all of these causes in relationship to one another. In
other words, it's not that each explanation "matters" (e.g., social
structures matter, organizational behaviors matter, individual
religious choices matter), but that these explanations matter to
each other (e.g., social structures matter to individual choices,
individual choices matter to organizational behaviors, and social
structures matter to organizational choices, etc.). To make this
argument, Killian develops the idea of the vitality nexus-the
interconnected relationship between the various explanations of
religious vitality.
