ADVENTISTS AND MORMON CONGREGATIONS IN CZECHIA: DISTRIBUTION, POSITION AND MANIFESTATIONS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2010, Vol 50, Issue 1
Abstract
The Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints share a number of characteristics (for instance their time and place of origin) making them interesting subjects for geographic comparison. Europe, which has been subject to processes of secularization, since the industrial era, on the one hand, and which can be considered a primary source of American culture during the 19 th century, provides an interesting context for such comparisons. This article examines the distribution of Adventists and Mormons in Europe by country and attempts to identify historical factors and organizational characteristics that aid in explaining the respective churches’ spatial distributions.
