A Particular Place tells the story of the dramatic changes that take place in the religious lives of a community faced with urban restructuring -- in this case, Dacula, Georgia, a once-quiet small town on the outskirts of Atlanta. The demographics of Dacula were drastically altered by the population influx, service sector development, and housing expansion brought on by the growth of the metropolis.
