The period between the two surveys was one of turbulence and change, and the surveys offer a unique insight into how such change affected grassroots opinion on topics such as marriage, women's ordination, sexual orientation, and the leadership of the Church. Andrew Village analyzes each topic to show how opinion varied by sex, age, education, location, ordination, and church tradition. Shifts that occurred in the period between the two surveys are then examined, and the results paint a detailed picture of how beliefs and attitudes vary across the Church and have evolved over time. This work uncovers some unforeseen but important trends that will shape the trajectory of the Church in the years ahead.Religion and sociologyChristianitySociology of ReligionChristianityReligion and sociology.Christianity.Sociology of Religion.Christianity.283.42283.42Village Andrewauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut859659BOOK9910303432503321The Church of England in the First Decade of the 21st Century2093303UNINA
