Consisting of three parts, it presents concrete sociological studies addressing how established and not established, old and new congregations of various faiths create a new kind of religious diversity at the country level; how religious congregations are challenged and thrive in large cities; and how religious congregations change in the 21st century. The book enlightens by its descriptive analysis and the theoretical questions it raises concerning the religious transformations happening all over Europe. It addresses issues of religious diversity in the cities of Europe by presenting large studies conducted in cities such as Barcelona in Spain, and Aarhus in Denmark. By means of large-scale censuses taken in areas such as North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany and in countries like Switzerland and Italy, the book shows how the historically established churches restructure their congregations and activities. It clarifies for the new gatherers where and how a new diversity of religious congregations is in the process of being established. Finally, the book covers two important topical issues: pluralisation and secularisation. It provides new data on religious diversity, painting a new picture of secularisation: the impact and structural consequences of the long-term decrease of membership in the established churches. 606 $aCulture 606 $aReligion and sociology 606 $aEconomic sociology 606 $aSociology of Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100 606 $aReligion and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A8020 606 $aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 615 0$aEconomic sociology. 615 14$aSociology of Culture. 615 24$aReligion and Society. 615 24$aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology. 676 $a201.7 702 $aMonnot$b Christophe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStolz$b Jörg$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300589303321 996 $aCongregations in Europe$92215584 997 $aUNINA
