Only in recent centuries have Catholic and Protestant women begun
the practice of creating formal groups for the express purpose of
operating schools, hospitals, and the like. Yet, there is evidence
that this period of active organizational involvement may already
be coming to an end. The resulting effect of denominational groups
losing their institutional identities has been greatly overlooked
in past research. Wittberg aims to redress this omission in this
noteworthy work. From Piety to Professionalism D and Back? argues
that the dissolution of institutional ties has greatly affected
denominations D especially specific denominational subgroups such
as Catholic religious orders, Protestant deaconesses, or women's
missionary societies D in profoundly important ways: shifting or
obliterating their recruitment bases, altering the backgrounds and
expectations of their leaders, and often causing fundamental
transformations in the very identity and culture of the groups
themselves. Using the theoretical lens of organizational sociology,
Wittberg has created an important and engaging work that will
appeal to scholars of sociology and religion.
