Description

Book Synopsis
Religious traditions provide the stories and rituals that define the core values of church members. Focusing on the innovations of several mainline Protestant churches in the San Francisco Bay Area, this title provides understandings of the transformation of spiritual traditions.

Trade Review
"This book is an important contribution to the study of innovation in religion from one of the rising stars in the sociology of American religion. It will challenge both scholars and church leaders who think megachurches are the answer to the problems faced by mainline denominations and those who think they are the problem." - William McKinney, president and professor of American religion, Pacific School of Religion"
