Abstrakt

The researcher conducted a study of communities of women religious in the Episcopal Church using the ethnographic approach and selected tools from the social sciences. The study briefly examines the historical origins of Episcopal sisterhoods. It goes on to describe how religious life is lived today through a participant-observation study of three women's communities. The study concludes that the twenty-first century may represent an important re-founding period in the history of Episcopal women's religious communities. Recommendations for areas of further study are identified. A conceptual framework entitled 'The Four-Point Model' is then developed and applied to several key issues that may have an impact on religious life in the future.
