Evangelical Ambivalence toward Gays and Lesbians
In 2004, Evangelical Christians seemed locked into an antagonistic relationship with the gay rights movement. Republican presidential incumbent George W. Bush had made a federal Defense of Marriage amendment central to his re-election campaign, in a strategic bid to rally Evangelical voters. This chapter proposes an explanation to the question of homosexuality by extending the concept of structured ambivalence: inconsistent normative expectations…

Sunday School Teacher, Culture Warrior: The Politics of Lay Leaders in Three Religious Traditions
Objectives Political theorists have praised civic organizations as spaces for open political deliberation. But their leadership structure privileges some voices over others. In congregations, clergy set the context for political discussion. We argue that volunteer religious leaders also shape political talk in local churches. Lay leaders serve as political opinion leaders within local churches, with the power to either deepen or bridge political …

The Politics of Evangelical Identity: Local Churches and Partisan Divides in the United States and Canada
It is now a common refrain among liberals that Christian Right pastors and television pundits have hijacked evangelical Christianity for partisan gain. This book challenges this notion, arguing that the hijacking metaphor paints a fundamentally distorted picture of how evangelical churches have become politicized. The book reveals how the powerful coalition between evangelicals and the Republican Party is not merely a creation of political elites…

Politics of Evangelical Identity: Local Churches and Partisan Divides in the United States and Canada
Drawing on her groundbreaking research at evangelical churches near the U.S. border with Canada -- two in Buffalo, New York, and two in Hamilton, Ontario -- Lydia Bean compares how American and Canadian evangelicals talk about politics incongregational settings
Compassionate Conservatives? Evangelicals, Economic Conservatism, and National Identity
In the United States, white evangelicals are more economically conservative than other Americans. It is commonly assumed that white evangelicals oppose redistributive social policies because of their individualistic theology. Yet Canadian evangelicals are just as supportive of redistributive social policy as other Canadians, even though they share the same tools of conservative Protestant theology. To solve this puzzle, I use multi-sited ethnogra…

Why doesn't Canada have an American-style Christian Right? A Comparative Framework for Analyzing the Political Effects of Evangelical Subcultural Identity
Political commentators have asked if Canada could see the rise of an American-style 'Culture War,' where evangelical Protestants are rallied by moral issues to support the Conservative party. This paper argues that even though Canadian evangelicals are just as morally conservative as American evangelicals, they work from very different understandings about the relationship between religious morality and national identity. We predict that rank-and…
Mormon Demographic History II: The Family Life Cycle and Natural Fertility
The concept of the family life-cycle has been central to a substantial body of literature in both demography and family history.1 Because the information necessary for a full description of the family life-cycle is often difficult to obtain in most of the studies made, twentieth-century perioddata have been used. Glick has provided a somewhat longer time series with his description of the life-cycle of the American family beginning with cohorts b…
Mormon demographic history I. Nuptiality and fertility of once-married couples
The Mormons of Utah have long intrigued demographic historians because of their pioneering experience in settling in Utah, their practice of polygamy 1 To be technically correct, the term should be polygyny. Throughout the history of the Mormon Church the practice was described as polygamy and we have adopted that term for purposes of historical consistency. in the last century, and the long-term pro-natalist policies of the Church which have res…
The Shevky-Bell Social Areas: Confirmation of Results and a Reinterpretation
A factor analysis of census tract data in Toledo, Ohio confirms the general structure found by Shevky and Bell, except that urbanization and family status appear as separate factors. The factors are interpreted in more strictly spatial terms. For example, urbanization becomes type of dwelling or population density
