Fragmented Faith is a disappointing book of statistical analysis, whose conclusions are a mixture of the obvious and the dubious.
The book constitutes an analysis of a survey conducted among readers of The Church Times in 2001. A total of 9,000 replies were received, but analysis was limited to Anglicans in England who attend their church at least twice a month, bringing the working figure down to 7,611 (5762 laity and 1849 clergy). 15 key themes from the survey are covered in the book.
