"Ranging over the incredible diversity of American religious expression, Religious Sites in America: A Reference Guide explores more than 160 worship groups as representative examples of individual beliefs and practices. It covers active religious centers in all 50 states, from cathedrals to store-front capitals, including the location, origin, and history of a site, its size and accessibility, and its purpose and influence.".
"Entries examine uniquely American worship: Navajo sand painting, Harvest Ministries, Inc. evangelism, Messianic Judaism, ki healing, annual pilgrimages to Idaho's Old Mission, a passion play enacted by the Hermanos Penitentes, high holy days celebrated over the Internet, and peyotism, one of the oldest worship practices indigenous to the continent.
Because all sites are active religious centers, entries detail site supervision, location, and layout and include telephone and fax numbers and e-mail and Web addresses. In addition to a site's significance, history, and architecture, the coverage also summarizes its religious activities and outreach programs. A detailed timeline charts the growth of widespread religious expression in America. There is a glossary, an extensive bibliography, a subject index, and illustrations."--BOOK JACKET.
