In this illuminating and thought-provoking volume, Leslie J. Francis’ research group draws on the Signs of Growth Survey conducted throughout the Anglican Diocese of Southwark to illustrate how the strength of combined qualitative and quantitative research methods can draw on the insights of psychological theory, sociological theory, and empirical theology to illuminate pressing questions of relevance to the sociology of religion, psychology of religion, practical theology and pastoral studies. Individual chapters discuss the missing generation of young people, the greying generation aged seventy and over, how occasional churchgoers express belonging and commitment, connections between psychological type and religious motivation, and the distinctive characteristics of growing congregations.Christianity and the social sciencesChristian sociologyChurch historyChristianity and cultureSocial Scientific Studies of ChristianityChurch HistoryChristian Cultural StudiesChristianity and the social sciences.Christian sociology.Church history.Christianity and culture.Social Scientific Studies of Christianity.Church History.Christian Cultural Studies.254.5254.5Francis Leslie J.Lankshear David W.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910520077403321The science of congregation studies2911201UNINA
