Contents:
Why study a liberal faith in the Shenandoah Valley? -- Churches of the Shenandoah Association -- Patterns of local church life -- A year in the life of a church -- Dimensions of local worship -- Church activities in the valley -- Liberal church, traditional congregations.
Summary: While congregational studies have expanded our understanding of American religion, little is known about the local practices of a single denomination at its smallest jurisdiction. This book explores how national denominational commitments are affecting the practices of local United Church of Christ congregations inside a single association in the Shenandoah Valley. Nationally, the UCC defines itself as a united and uniting church in its ecumenical work; as multiracial and multicultural in its diversity; as accessible to all in welcoming those with disabilities; as open and affirming for its LG.
