Given that we spend most of our time in everyday life, sociologists know surprisingly little about religious practice within it. This gap results from sociologists’ traditional focus on religious institutions, beliefs, and values, and from their characterization of everyday life as a mundane, habitual plane. As social life becomes more multifarious, however, it is not clear how religious values are manifest as practices in everyday life, or how everyday life influences such values and actions. In this dissertation, I observe and interpret how Protestant and non-Protestant volunteers practice religion in a non-religious non-profit organization that cooks and delivers meals to homebound people with AIDS. Using ethnographic methods and recent theoretical advances, I study how volunteers actually use religious language and practice to talk about themselves and to solve problems in the organization’s kitchen. This dissertation analyzes how people practice religion in everyday life by focusing substantively on how social problems unique to the late twentieth century influence and challenge those practices.
