From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Association for the Sociology of Religion (ASR ) is an academic association with more than 700 members worldwide. It publishes a journal,
Sociology of Religion , and holds meetings at the same venues and times as the
American Sociological Association .
[3]
History
The ASR was founded by Catholic sociologists in Chicago in 1938 as the American Catholic Sociological Society.
[3] The organization adopted its present name in 1970, reflecting changes in the
Vatican 's policy that led to greater openness towards other faiths. It has long since become a base for sociological research on religion without regard to belief, creed, or religious orientation.
Activities
The association publishes a journal,
Sociology of Religion , as well as a quarterly newsletter.
[3] It is the co-publisher of an annual series entitled Religion and the Social Order .
[3] The association provides research grants.
