520 |a For different reasons, Kelky (1977) and Iannaccone (1994) (should de letter I not letter L) have argued that ascetic strictness causes congregational growth. The relevant published case studies of congregations do not support strictness theory, however this research concerned mainly middle-class congregations. A recently published quantitative study found that church growth was positively associated with strictness, but only among working-class congregations. Thus the research reported in this paper focused on working-class congregations and was meant to determine if there is a causal connection, and not just a statistical association, between strictness and church growth. Open-ended interviews were done with new participants in two working-class Protestant congregations about what drew them to their new congregations. The most important factors were feeling the presence of the Holy Spirit, the family-like nature of congregational life, and qualities of the pastor. No evidence supporting strictness theory was found.
