description This Special Issue focuses on emerging trends in congregational engagement and leadership related to a variety of topics, including COVID-19, climate change, Christian nationalism and political polarization, multiculturalism, church staffing, individualization, Afrofuturism and the Black Church, stewardship and economic practices, community organizing, gendered pastoral vocational paths, and clergy leadership development and lifelong learning. Together, these contributions highlight the study of congregational life and leadership as an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws upon sociological, anthropological, historical, ecclesial, theological, and other frameworks to better understand the dynamic nature of religious life.
