This article attempts to fill the gap in the sociological literature at the intersection of religion and community by examining how local, urban Catholic churches shape and nurture community commitment. My empirical research shows that the collective identity of young adult Catholics emerges from patterns of religious identity that are activated in church settings and defined through meaningful role identities established by the organizational framing and resonance of clergy leadership. As previous research has shown, participation in church activities and strong social connections within congregations contribute to greater voluntarism and commitment to the larger community. Further, collective efforts achieve greater success if the stated goals relate back to shared collective identities and an aspirational source of shared moral obligation that gives weight to the voluntarist commitment. The example of local Catholic churches highlights the importance of multidimensional social networks that can align collective identities with bespoke calls to action amid the evolving needs and aspirations of multiple groups and constituencies.

社区发现:年轻的天主教徒身份和承诺

本文试图通过研究当地城市天主教会如何塑造和培养社区承诺来填补宗教和社区交叉点的社会学文献中的空白。我的实证研究表明,年轻的成年天主教徒的集体身份源于在教堂环境中激活定义的宗教身份模式通过由神职人员领导的组织框架和共鸣建立的有意义的角色身份。正如之前的研究表明,参与教会活动和在会众中建立牢固的社会联系有助于更大程度的自愿性和对更大社区的承诺。此外,如果既定的目标与共同的集体身份和共同的道德义务的理想来源相关联,则集体努力会取得更大的成功,这使自愿者的承诺受到重视。当地天主教会的例子凸显了多维社交网络的重要性,在多个群体和选区不断变化的需求和愿望中,可以将集体身份与定制的行动呼吁保持一致。
