- Title
Social Participation and Religious Affiliation In Rural Areas.
- Authors
Anderson, W. A.
- Abstract
This study confirms the hypothesis that membership in a religious denomination is associated with participation in other organizations. Individuals belonging to rural churches are active in other kinds of organizations in greater proportions than those who are not church members. When the factors of farm ownership and land classes are held constant, participation in the rural areas of New York seems greater among Protestants than Catholics, and denominationally the Congregationalists, Presbyterians and Friends seem to be slightly more active than the Baptists and Methodists.
