Alphabetic Listing of Group Profile Pages

| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |

The religious movement profiles that follow were developed with the assistance of students enrolled in my sociology of religion classes at the University of Virginia. Each student who has created a religious movement profile for this site has made a unique and valuable contribution. I sincerely extend my gratitude to them for their conscientious work. The name of the student who created each page appears at the end of that page. If they are still a student at the University, you can communicate with them directly by clicking on their name.

Each profile consists of a minimum of three sections: (1) a profile providing basic information to help orient the reader to the group, (2) links to web sites containing further useful information, and a (3) bibliography of print resources. Many of the pages go well beyond their minimum criteria. Groups are listed alphabetically. If a group is known by multiple names, it will have multiple listings for your convenience in locating. Comments and suggestions for improving the content of individual pages are welcome. You can send a message by visiting our feedback page or you can email me by clicking on my name below.
