SOC 1004 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Clothing, Secularism
Document Summary
Segregation and prophetic leadership: new pastors may try to desegregate, to reduce inequity, god wants us to cross boundaries and not keep segregation, experiments in high demand of prophetic leadership. Costs of belief/belonging rise with internal diversity: x-ses contact discomfiting, occupation and status, clothes, groups, car, all that gives a status, those w/ strong ties elsewhere fade quickest. Failures of disestablished religion: leaders fail to undo ses segregation, disestablishment disempowers leadership, reduces participation. New sects, high on solidarity, exercise the most leadership: but, to survive in a disestablished market, voluntary orgs must satisfy more than challenge, limit on the power of solidarity and faith to change mundane life. French decide that men and women cannot have religious attire on (secular french government) don"t be religious in government. Rejection of sects: anti-immigrant sentiment, like white strategic framing, leads french natives to repress public, sectarian piety. New pastors may try to desegregate, to reduce inequity.
