A typology of 62 congregations involved in the Church and Community Project, from a diversity of denominational traditions, summarizes nine distinct ways in which congregations integrate their religious style and orientation to the social world. The paper shows that many evangelical congregations involve themselves in social service and social justice ministries and that religiously liberal churches may be virtually uninvolved in such activities. The relationship of the nine types to denominational traditions, members' socio-economic status, and members' political and economic beliefs are also examined.
