Class segregation in a rural community under industrialized agricultural economy permeates all institutions and is characteristic of its religous life. Whereas older Protestant churches fulfil the religious needs of the upper class, the evangelical sects serve the laboring group. These evangelical sects develop in response to the general social barriers of the poor in a society dominated by pecuniary values, and at the same time they serve the psychological needs of an ostracized group by asserting another value system in a putative, heavenly society. Class denominationalism, as a church problem, must be viewed as a part of the general problem of class discrimination
