To determine the fit between his typology and existing rituals, questionnaires were sent to all Christian churches in “Middletown” (N 217). Fifty-two percent of the clergy returned the forms, describing the “main religious service” at their churches. The results suggested the desirability of a dimensional rather than a typological framework. Three ritual dimensions are discussed. The paper notes the great variety of rituals in Middle-town, and comments are made on the relations between ritual style and church structure. The paper concludes with a reexamination of Ducey's work.
