“…A comprehensive literature review is neither necessary nor desirable here, but even a cursory look at recent literature makes clear that congregations continue to be studied from many perspectives to learn about many subjects. Looking just at work published since 2010, research on congregations has focused on race and ethnicity (Edwards, Christerson, and Emerson ; Marti ), small groups (Dougherty and Whitehead ), civic and political participation (Schwadel ), leadership (Edwards ; Stewart‐Thomas ), openness to gays and lesbians (Adler ; Whitehead ), HIV/AIDS services (Derose et al ; Frenk and Trinitapoli ; Fulton ), environmentalism (Djupe and Olson ), organizational identity (Reimer ), organizational networks (Smith, Schietle, and Bader ), worship styles (Baker ), principal‐agent problems (Wollschleger ), change over time (Chaves ; Roozen ), and much more.…”
