Hadaway, Christopher Kirk, "Denominational Switching and Membership Growth: In Search of A Relationship," Sociological Analysis, 39 (Winter, 1978), 321-337.
Abstract:
An advantage in only one of three aspects of denominational switching (stability, net gains, and quality of converts) may not lead to church membership growth, and the growth of conservative mainline denominations is very different from the growth of conservative sects.
