Abstract
Two ionns or religious expansion can be round in the field oilooal religious organizations in modern Taiwan: one is the expansion of a hierarchical pattern, and the other is the crealion oi sub — units from one mother — unit. This typology helps us to see two kinds of religiosity in Taiwanese local religions. In addition. this study explains that one common property can be found behind these two different types of organizational expansion, that is, symbolic institutionalization. This is essentially diflerent from Christian inst-itutional expansion in Ilte Western world. This comparison with organizational expansion in the Christian world helps us to understand the eulnual characteristics or local religions in modern Taiwan.
