During late 2016 and 2017, researchers from the Center for Middletown Studies interviewed 26 leaders of Muncie-area faith communities to learn more about how they have responded to recent economic and social changes. These interviews, assembled here, focused on the current membership and financial condition of each congregation, the challenges it faced, the extent of its service activities, and the ways in which it engaged with the wider community. Participants also reflected on benefits and limitations of religiously-based civic activity.
