Links to Religious Bodies Organized according to J. Gordon Melton's Religious Family Groupings
J. Gordon Melton's authoritative work The Encyclopedia of American Religions organizes
all religious bodies in North America into twenty (20) families. Families
share three common features: heritage, theology or belief (in a broad
sense), and lifestyle. Below we present links to the home pages of all
religious groups in the U.S. and Canada that we have been able to locate,
organized by the family grouping of Melton.
If you know the official name of the group you are looking for, use the search engine on the left hand navigation bar just above this text. You can use the navigation links immediately below to jump to the links in each family. Or, you can use the index table below which provides a further breakdown of families to locate the group of interest to you.
