From Piety to Professionalism D and Back?

Explore the profound insights of From Piety to Professionalism D and Back? by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, published in 2006. This compelling paperback spans 360 pages and delves into the significant impact of the dissolution of ties with institutions on various denominations. The book specifically highlights the effects on distinct denominational subgroups, including Catholic religious orders, Protestant deaconesses, and women's missionary societies. It argues that these changes have not only shifted but, in some cases, obliterated their recruitment bases, leading to critical transformations within these communities. Perfect for scholars, practitioners, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious organizations, this book provides a thought-provoking examination of the intersection between faith and professionalism.
