Robin Gill argues that once moral communities (such as churchgoers)
take centre stage in ethics - as they do in virtue ethics - then
there should be a greater interest in sociological evidence about
these communities. This book, first published in 1999, examines
evidence gathered from social attitude surveys about church
communities, in particular their views on faith, moral order and
love. It shows that churchgoers are distinctive in their attitudes
and behaviour. Some of their attitudes change over time, and there
are a number of obvious moral disagreements between different
groups of churchgoers. Nonetheless, there are broad patterns of
Christian beliefs, teleology and altruism which distinguish
churchgoers as a whole from non-churchgoers. However, the values,
virtues, moral attitudes and behaviour of churchgoers are shared by
many other people as well. The distinctiveness of church
communities in the modern world is thus real but relative, and is
crucial for the task of Christian ethics.
