The main aim of the survey was to get details of church attendance in England by denomination, churchmanship, county and environment. <br> <br> A list was produced by MARC Europe of all Christian churches in England which totaled 38,607. These included Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox churches but not other groups such as Jehovah's Witness. In total 26,424 churches completed the census form, a response rate of 70 per cent.<br> <br> The census set out to measure congregations not churches themselves. For the purposes of the survey a congregation was defined as a group comprising generally the same body of people, meeting at monthly intervals at least, for public Christian worship on a Sunday, and using the same premises week by week.<br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>The questionnaire included the following topics:<ul><li>denomination</li><li>churchmanship</li><li>county</li><li>environment (nature of the community served by the church) </li><li>age and gender of the congregation</li><li>children's involvement with the church</li></ul> 199001 January 1990 England ChurchesNational Census of all Christian churches in England except those not regarded as Trinitarian (e.g. Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons) Repeated cross-sectional study No sampling (total universe) Postal survey <p>The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.</p><p>Commercial use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
