Note(s) : The ongoing debate about secularisation and religious change in twentieth-century
Britain has paid little attention to the experience of those who swam against the
cultural tide and continued to attend church. This study, based on extensive original
archive and oral history research, redresses this imbalance with an exploration of
church-based Christianity in post-war Birmingham, examining how churchgoers interpreted
and responded to the changes that they saw in family, congregation, neighbourhood
and wider society. One important theme is the significance of age and generational
identity to patterns of religiosity amidst profound change in attitudes to youth,
age and parenting and growing evidence of a widening 'generation gap' in Christian
belief and practice. In addition to offering a new and distinctive perspective on
the changing religious identity of late twentieth-century English society, the book
also provides a rare case-study in the significance of age and generation in the social
and cultural history of modern Britain. Ian Jones is the Director of the Saltley Trust
(an educational charity), Birmingham. - Cover
