Résumé:Three basic problems with the church-sect dimension are raised: its definition, empirical correlates, and the association of its defining elements. The last question is examined in detail. Several elements presumed to be essential to a definition of church-sect are demonstrated to have no basis in fact. A re-examination of the concept is called for.
