He takes issue with those who claim that on-going widespread involvement in various privatized forms of religiousness indicates that religion is changing rather than declining. The book concludes with an assessment of the major challenges that Christian churches in Canada confront today. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion.$nSeries two ;$v27. 606 $aChristians$zCanada$xSocial conditions 606 $aChristians$zCanada$xAttitudes 606 $aSocial surveys$zCanada 606 $aChre?tiens$zCanada$xConditions sociales 606 $aChre?tiens$zCanada$xAttitudes 606 $aEnque?tes sociales$zCanada 615 0$aChristians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aChristians$xAttitudes. 615 0$aSocial surveys 615 6$aChre?tiens$xConditions sociales. 615 6$aChre?tiens$xAttitudes. 615 6$aEnque?tes sociales 676 $a305.6/771 700 $aBowen$b Kurt Derek$01485859 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783794503321 996 $aChristians in a secular world$93705142 997 $aUNINA
