While attending a church close to our own homes is still very much the norm for EN readers, results of last summer’s reader survey show that making that short walk each Sunday morning is proving something of a challenge.
A survey of over 400 randomly-selected readers was conducted last June to attempt to determine some facts surrounding three issues.
The issues were: how far do Christians tend to live from their church (using the word ‘church’ colloquially to mean the meeting place where God’s people gather), how do they generally get there, and how often. Of additional interest was whether regular involvement in church life is impaired by having a greater distance between where people live and where the church gathers.
