Need a word...

The Religious Tract Society – not only ____ in the field of religious periodicals – was also deeply involved in publishing literature designed for distribution in Sunday Schools.

Does anyone know a proper word to fill in the gap? I already tried rewriting the sentence, too, but to no end...

The grammar structure for the meaning the sentence seems to carry does not fit, no matter what word you choose. I presume that this is what is meant: The Religious Tract Society— active in the field of religious periodicals—was also deeply involved in publishing literature designed for distribution to Sunday schools .

Looks like you need a synonym for "involved."

All I can come up with at the moment are "active" and "busy."

Thank you! "Active" fits perfectly...
