Conclusion.1 a"The explosive growth of the immigrant population since the 1960s has raised concerns about its impact on public life, but only recently have scholars begun to ask. how religion affects the immigrant experience in our society. In Religion and the New Immigrants, Michael W. Foley and Dean R. Hoge assess the role of local worship communities in promoting civic engagement among recent immigrants to the United States. The product of a three-year study on immigrant worship communities in the Washington, D.C., area, the book explores the diverse ways in which such communities build social capital among their members, provide social services, develop the "civic skills" of members, and shape immigrants' identities."--BOOK JACKET. 0aChurch work with immigrantszUnited States.1 aHoge, Dean R.,d1937-413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0612/2006013245.html  2ddccBK  c127727d127727  00102ddc406200_869120000000000_FOR708NFIC9240435aDULbDULcGENd2016-11-23epurchasedo200.86912 FORp480864r2016-11-23w2016-11-23yBK
