Small Christian Communities

Robert S. Pelton, C.S.C., is on the faculty of Theology at the University of Notre Dame and concurrent professor in the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at Notre Dame. He was Coordinator of the International Consultation on Small Christian Communities on which this book is based.

"This well-integrated collection of papers and responses represents the outcome of a four-day theological consultation on small Christian communities held at the University of Notre Dame in 1996...A useful sociological study of small Christian communities in the United States adds to the worth of this valuable little book. This work belongs in the library of every college that offers courses in theology. It could be used as one text among others in a course on church, and also as a reading for introductory courses, parish groups, or for any type of small Christian community." —*Horizons *
