Beschreibungen
<p>As<br>faith communities in the United States grow increasingly more diverse, many<br>churches are turning to the shared parish, a single church facility<br>shared by distinct cultural groups who retain their own worship and ministries.<br>The fastest growing and most common of these are Catholic parishes shared by<br>Latinos and white Catholics. Shared parishes remain one of the few institutions<br>in American society that allows cultural groups to maintain their own language<br>and customs while still engaging in regular intercultural negotiations<br>over the shared<br>space.<br><br>This<br>book explores the shared parish through an in-depth ethnographic study of a<br>Roman Catholic parish in a small Midwestern city demographically transformed by<br>Mexican immigration in recent decades. Through its depiction of shared parish<br>life, the book argues for new ways of imagining the U.S. Catholic parish as an<br>organization. The parish, argues Brett C. Hoover, must be conceived as both<br>a congregation and part of a centralized system, and as one<br>piece in a complex social ecology. The Shared Parish also<br>posits that the search for identity and adequate intercultural practice in such<br>parishes might call for<br>new approaches to cultural diversity in U.S. society, beyond assimilation or<br>multiculturalism. We must imagine a religious organization that accommodates<br>both the need for safe space within distinct groups and for social networks<br>that connect these groups as they struggle to respectfully co-exist.</p>
