The research behind my Out of Ur post: Megachurch Misinformation

See my post today at Leadership Journal's Out of Ur blog:

Megachurch Misinformation: Mega or missional? The stats say both are doing well.

Here are few page numbers in the article that got edited out:

Mark Chaves, "All Creatures Great and Small: Megachurches in Context," Review of Religious Research (2006) 47:329.

Rodney Stark and Roger Finke, Acts of Faith: Explaining the Human Side of Religion (2000), 155. 

David Olson, The American Church in Crisis, (2008),146, 149, 150. 


Update: See my index to follow the whole discussion:

"A Former Pastor Goes Church Shopping: And he wrestles with the advantages and disadvantages of mainline and nondenominational churches."
