Abstract
This article discusses the clash between the institutional and neighborhood culture within the urban community. To illustrate this tension, the author presents a case study of the expanding Christian Science Center and its adjoining residential neighborhood in Boston. Interviews with church officials, neighborhood leaders and community center participants suggest a typology of divergent cultural perspectives. The profile which emerges from the research illustrates the hierarchy of perspectives within both the institution and the neighborhood and compares it with the more accommodating perspective of those participating in a middle-ground setting in the community development process.
