Pages : 265
Book Description
The Catholic Church stands at the forefront of an emergent majority-minority America. Parish and Place tells the story of how America's largest religion is responding at the local level to unprecedented cultural, racial, linguistic, ideological, and political diversification. Specifically, it explores bishops' use of personal parishes - parishes formally established not on the basis of territory, but purpose. Today's personal parishes serve an array of Catholics drawn together by shared identities and preferences, rather than shared neighborhoods. They allow Catholic leaders to act upon the perceived need for named, specialist organizations alongside the more common territorial parish that serves all in its midst. Parish and Place documents the American Catholic Church's movement away from "national" parishes and towards personal parishes as a renewed organizational form. Tricia Bruce uses in-depth interviews and national survey data to examine the rise and rationale behind new parishes for the Traditional Latin Mass, for Vietnamese Catholics, for tourists, and more. Featuring insights from bishops, priests, and diocesan leaders throughout the United States, this book offers a rare view of institutional decision making from the top. Parish and Place demonstrates structural responses to diversity, exploring just how far fragmentation can go before it challenges unity.

Excerpt from How to Write the History of a Parish Those who have been engaged in any literary work are well aware how large a portion of time is often spent in merely learning the titles and somewhat of the contents of those books that treat of the different branches of the subject selected. Various books connected with parochial history, especially those that have been proved by experience to be the best hand-books, are therefore mentioned in these pages to facilitate reference.

The Story of Byfield

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Byfield: A New England Parish If one could only know in youth what he was to do in after life how much better he could do it! Had I dreamed in my early years of writing a history of Byfield, there were many about me, who have long since passed on, who could have instantly given me information which I have only obtained with difficulty, or not at all; but up to four years ago I had never thought of such a work. What led to it was the publication of an article by me on Ezekiel Rogers and Rowley in the New England Magazine for September, 1899. This brought to me the urgent suggestion, particularly from Mr. Northend, that I should write a history of Byfield. At first I would not entertain the idea because my regular work was so engrossing, but at length I yielded, and I have found the task, while a large one, very pleasant. It has been lightened by the hearty cooperation of so many friends that I cannot attempt to enumerate them all, although under the head of authorities and, from time to time, in the body of the work, I have had the privilege of acknowledging my debt to some of them.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Tale of a Lonely Parish The Reverend Augustin Ambrose would gladly have given up taking pupils. He was growing old and his sight was beginning to trouble him; he was very weary of Thucydides, of Homer, of the works of Mr. Todhunter of which the green bindings expressed a hope still unrealised, of conic sections - even of his beloved Horace. He was tired of the stupidities of the dull young men who were sent to him because they could not keep up, and he had long ceased to be surprised or interested by the remarks of the clever ones who were sent to him because their education had not pre pared them for an English University. The dull ones could never be made to understand anything, though Mr. Ambrose generally succeeded in making them remember enough to matriculate, by dint of ceaseless repetition and a system of maria technica which embraced most things necessary to the salvation of dull youth The clever ones, on the other hand, generally lacked altogether the solid foundation of learning; they could construe fluently but did not know a long syllable from a short one; they had vague notions of elemental algebra and no neflmn ex.

American Parishes
Author: Gary J. AdlerPublisher: Fordham University Press
ISBN: 0823284379
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book 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

They laid the foundations deep and secure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Parish History and Records (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Parish History and Records Beton's Thesaurus and Bacon's I/iber Regis, we shall find that only a few have vanished or have become consolidated with others. Otherwise the alterations of the parishes and the rural deaneries to which they' belong have been of the most tri ing kind until the beginning, still within living memory, of the obliteration on a large scale of ancient boundaries in the interests of modern efficiency. Generally speaking, owing to the action of the local land-owner in harmony with the Church, the English parish corresponds to the vill or township.1 This is true, at any rate, of the greater part of England south of Trent, where large parishes comprising several vills, though not uncommon, are the exception. In the wilder country north of Trent, where population was sparse and civili sation more gradual, the parishes were as a rule larger and included several scattered vills. Thus, of the two largest dioceses of medieval England, L'incoln contained some 1750 parishes, while the number in York, which was actually larger in area, was under 700. There is a vast difference between the normal Midland parish of between two and three thousand acres and the great medi eval parishes of western Yorkshire, Halifax with Aysgarth with nearly acres. In one case, the historian has to deal with a compact and well-defined area; in the other, he has to pursue the history of a large and intricate district.
