Roots and Branches searches out the many roots of this profound phenomenon we call "religion," looking at both faith communities and individuals. It examines Native American religious traditions; the role of the stalwart missionaries who came to the region; the building and shaping of secular and sacred institutions to sustain the family; the faithful in transition from frontier challenges to urban complexities; and contemporary changes deeply affecting religious groups and society as a whole. --- from book's back cover
