9816518Bowen, John & Brian HowellThis project involves the dissertation research of a cultural anthropology student from Washington University in St. Louis. The study examines the spread of Protestantism in the third world through an ethnographic comparison of three Philippine Baptist congregations in the city of Baguio. By comparing a middle-class group with a relatively lower-class minority congregation and a Philippine-born Chinese congregation, the student will look at the relative importance of church doctrine, local history, and social context in shaping religious behavior. The methods include participant observation and formal as well as informal interviews with respondents ranging from the entire small congregation to 50-60 person samples of larger groups. This project will advance our understanding of how local religious communities draw upon translocal traditions and networks to establish local variants of global Protestant religious communities. The project will also contribute to the training of a young social scientist and advance our knowledge about this important region of the world.

9816518 Bowen，John Brian Howell该项目涉及圣路易斯华盛顿大学文化人类学学生的论文研究。 该研究通过对菲律宾碧瑶市三个浸信会的人种学比较，探讨了新教在第三世界的传播。 通过比较一个中产阶级群体与一个相对较低阶级的少数民族会众和一个菲律宾出生的华人会众，学生将看到教会教义，当地历史和社会背景在塑造宗教行为的相对重要性。 方法包括参与者观察和正式以及非正式的访谈，受访者范围从整个小会众到50-60人的大团体样本。 该项目将促进我们对地方宗教社区如何利用跨地方传统和网络来建立全球新教宗教社区的地方变体的理解。该项目还将有助于培训一名年轻的社会科学家，并增进我们对世界这一重要地区的了解。
