When did churches start to appear more empty than full - and why?
The very physicality of largely empty churches and chapels in
Britain plays a powerful role in popular perceptions of 'religion'.
Empty churches are frequently cited in the media as evidence of
large scale religious decline. The 'Empty' Church Revisited
presents a systematic account of British churchgoing patterns over
the last two hundred years, uncovering the factors and the
statistics behind the considerable process of decline in church
attendence. Dispelling as myth the commonly held views that the
process of secularization in British culture has led to the decline
in churchgoing and resulted in the predominantly empty churches of
today, Gill points to physical factors, economics and issues of
social space to shed new light on the origins of empty churches.
This thoroughly updated edition of Robin Gill's earlier work, The
Myth of the Empty Church, presents new data throughout to explore
afresh the paradox of church building activity in a context of
decline, the patterns of urbanisation followed by sub-urbanisation
affecting churches, changes in patterns of worship, and changes
within the sociology of religion in the last decade.
