Privatizing the Church: Disestablishment in Connecticut and Massachusetts
研究19世纪初新英格兰地区公立教会私有化后，牧师需求迅速增长，但教会成员增长证据较弱，且私有化伴随融资方式变化。
Tax-supported churches were established in most American colonies. Public Congregationalist churches in New England were not privatized until the early nineteenth century. After privatization, demand for preachers rose rapidly. There is weaker evidence that church membership also rose quickly. The increase in preachers came almost totally from private denominations. The privatization of religion was further accompanied by a change in methods of finance. Copyright 1994 by University of Chicago Press.
