description: The nature and pattern of church attendance in England is changing, and this book spells out some of these changes. Its dramatic, disturbing conclusions are the stuff of headlines. The fall in the average number of Sunday churchgoers is accelerating and many of those lost are children. At first glance it seems that churchgoing in England is in terminal decline. But that is only half the story. A significant number of worshippers come once or twice a month or during the week rather than on Sunday, so the total number of attenders is much higher. Religious programmes on radio and TV have substantial viewing and listening figures. So what is happening to our nation? What are the implications for the Church and for society? This carefully researched, meticulously prepared report gives an invaluable basis for understanding the present - 2000 - situation and planning for the future.
