Description
Résumé:Displays of faith, discussed in this paper as evangelization, are often associated with the verbal, not the non-verbal. In common perception, these displays tend to be related to Protestants more than Catholics. With a number of qualifications, we find, however, that the data indicate possible non-verbal forms of publicly displaying faith that appear more frequently among Catholics than Protestants. Our data lead us to suggest that distinctions persist between Catholics and Protestants in terms of emphases upon the material versus the cognitive and the visual versus the verbal. These findings could suggest less usual conceptions of public displays of faith than those found in the literature.
