A Field Guide to U.s. Congregations, Second Edition: Who's Going Where and Why Deborah Bruce 第2 版

In 2001 the Presbyterian Church (U. S. A.) conducted the U. S. Congregational Life Survey. More than 1.2 million worshipers and 12,000 congregations across three continents were surveyed to provide a portrait of congregational life. The findings were published in the first edition of A Field Guide to U. S. Congregations.

With the completion of the 2008 survey comes an expanded edition of this invaluable reference with new findings; updated statistics, tables, and cartoons; a new chapter describing changes in congregational life; and chapter summaries focusing on the implications of the 2008 survey.
