Why do people join new congregations? How does this happen? And
which consequences does this have for people's belief and behavior?
These are the main questions addressed in this comparative case
study from the distinctively different contexts of Norway and
Thailand. While joining a new congregation in Thailand in most
cases is understood in terms of conversion, what happens in the
Norwegian context is mainly referred to as a process of revitalized
commitment. However, common in both contexts was that joining a new
congregation implied an aspect of religious change. In order to
understand this change, the author applies perspectives from
contemporal conversion studies, such as Lewis R. Rambo's typology
of conversion, and from anthropological studies of change.
