I'm interested not only in the ways that these regions diverge, but also how they've influenced each other within particular traditions. Within evangelicalism, for instance, how have a Willow Creek and a Saddleback shaped each other? Are Vineyards and other relatively nondenominational communities in the Pacific Northwest more influenced by their Midwestern brethren or by their relatively liberal environs, and vice versa? How have transamerican influences on U.S. Catholicism and Pentacostalism played out differently in particular regions because of their unique histories vis-a-vis race and ethnicity?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-41492356391314816452008-08-15T08:35:00.000-06:002008-08-15T08:35:00.000-06:00Great post.I did some work about 13 years ago on t...Great post.<BR/><BR/>I did some work about 13 years ago on the John Birchers in Oklahoma and Kansas. "Get US out of the UN!" along with "Support Your Local Law Enforcement Officers" and a ton of other crew-cutted, horn-rimmed glasses slogans bring back the memories. <BR/><BR/>Still looking for the rumored "Mow Your Lawn, You Damn Commie!"Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755286304057000048noreply@blogger.com
