Book Synopsis Kinship and Pilgrimage by : Gwen Kennedy Neville
Book excerpt: In this cultural anthropological study of Reformed Protestantism, Neville argues that the Catholic custom of making pilgrimages to sacred spots has been replaced by the custom of "reunion"--church homecomings, family reunions, cemetery days, and camp meetings--a part of an institutionalized pilgrimage complex.
