Rev. Dowd Publishes On the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement

Faculty Fellow Rev. Robert Dowd (political science) has co-authored an article with Ani Sarkissian in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion.

The article, The Roman Catholic Charismatic Movement and Civic Engagement in Sub-Saharan Africa, examines the relationship between participation in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) and civic engagement, emphasizing that context matters when looking at whether connection to the movement encourages or discourages participation in public life.
