Description

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. Contributors: Gary J. Adler Jr., Nancy Ammerman, Mary Jo Bane, Tricia C. Bruce, John A. Coleman, S.J., Kathleen Garces-Foley, Mary Gray, Brett Hoover, Courtney Ann Irby, Tia Noelle Pratt, and Brian Starks Review The value of a book like this--one that is synthetic and balanced--shows the Church in its weakness. It also helps undercut our assumptions of the Church in the United States as either a monolith or as a set of discrete units. The authors seek to provide deep insights into the direction of the Church... The book forces us to ask hard questions when faced with some glaringly troublesome data. Do we cower or address it? Do we ask whether those in authority are somehow hindering growth by being stuck in conceptions of the Church taken from bygone eras? Are we being faithful to the Gospel by organizing ourselves into the kinds of parishes that we have, or is there a way to be better?-- "Catholic Library World" This book is an important step forward...-- "Catholic Books Review" Led off by a very helpful introduction, the essays in this volume, while addressing various dimensions of U.S. parishes, all exhibit a firm grounding in the broader scholarly literature, plenty of sociological insights, and writing that is both accessible and engaging. This is a terrific, much-needed collection that, in my estimation, deserves a wide readership. ---Jerome P.
