Abstract
Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.
The aim of the project was to assess afresh the current number and frequency of people attending church of all denomonations in Scotland in 1994. A previous study had been undertaken in 1984 (held at the UKDA under SN 2554), and it was felt important to see how trends had changed. In particular, the principal investigators wanted to know how attendance had developed especially with regard to the age of those going to church. The survey also asked questions about the Bible version used in the church and whether churches had Bible study meetings.
Main Topics:
The data cover church attendance and congregation size between 1990-1994 for both adults and children, age and gender of congregation, type of area church is in, version of Bible used.
