Born of The American Parish Project (which I co-lead with Gary Adler and Brian Starks), a forum I edited on the sociology of parishes appears in the latest issue of American Catholic Studies. It features exceptional essays by sociologists James Cavendish, the late Mary Ellen Konieczny, and Carol Ann MacGregor.

This same issue also features a review symposium of my latest book, Parish and Place: Making Room for Diversity in the American Catholic Church. I am grateful for critically engaging essays from Tia Pratt, William Clark, SJ, and John Francis Burke.
