| Summary: | This report of a socio-religious movement, the Christian Family Movement, emphasizes the emergence of clearly defined channels for airing and resolving disputes which regularly develop within the organization. As CFM has continued to grow, it has developed the capacity to withstand fragmentation and conflict and still pursue its formally stated goals. The findings have important implications for a theory of social movements. For it becomes increasingly imperative that we draw from other corners of sociological theory, namely, that of complex organizations, in order to develop a suitable framework for understanding the internal dynamics of movements over time. |
