(Abingdon Press, 2003. Cost $17.00 ISBN #0687090903.)

Carl S. Dudley recently revisited the world of smaller congregations, posing new questions reflective of the considerable changes that have swept over small churches in the last two decades. Among the most significant recent developments are shifts in institutional loyalty and individual's sense of identity in relation to larger groups and organizations. Dudley explores the key components that contribute to a small congregation's sense of unity and that motivate its members to more faithfully live out their faith.
