1	The Continuing Anglican Metamorphosis: Introducing The Adapted Integrated Model L'Hommedieu, John 01 January 2012 (has links) The purpose of this thesis is to develop and test the Advanced Integrated Model, a typological model in the tradition of Weber’s interpretive sociology, as an asset in explaining recent transformations in American Episcopal-Anglican organizations. The study includes an assessment of the church-sect tradition in the sociology of religion and a summary overview of Weber’s interpretive sociology with special emphasis on the nature and construction of idealtypes and their use in analysis. To illustrate the effectiveness of the model a number of institutional rivalries confronting contemporary Episcopal-Anglican organizations are identified and shown to be explainable only from a sociological perspective and not simply as “in house” institutional problems. The present work sheds light on parent-child conflicts in religious organizations and reopens discussion about the theoretical value of ideal-types in general, and church-sect typologies in particular, when utilized from a comparative-historical perspective Max weber interpretive sociology typology ideal types church sect episcopal church anglicanism schism sectarianism anglican church in north america (acna) anglican mission in the americas (amia) reformed episcopal church howard becker william h. swatos jr. integrated model adapted integrated model historical sociology comparative sociology Sociology
