Secular and Sacred: Communication and Organizing in Religious Organizations

Fri, November 13, 2:00 to 3:15pm, Hilton Chicago, Floor: Fourth Floor, Meeting Room 4C

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Religious and secular organizing are similarly constituted by discourse notwithstanding differences in goals and member incentives, yet organizational communication scholars have neglected churches and other religious organizations in their analyses of communication and organization, despite the broad influence that churches have on substantial segments of society (Dixon, 2004). This panel explores ongoing organizational communication research in religious contexts and discusses heuristic directions for future work connecting organizational communication knowledge and religious contexts.
