1 Men practising Christian worship The results of a YouGov Survey of GB adults All figures are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 7,212 GB 16+ adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between 23rd - 26th September The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all GB adults (aged 16+). Raw data was provided by YouGov, whilst calculations are performed by Single Christians. Funded by Christian Vision for Men and Single Christians Conceived and commissioned by Dr S David Pullinger, Single Christians Report available from 1
2 ABOUT THE FUNDING BODIES and SURVEY COMPANY Christian Vision for Men (CVM) is a registered charity founded in 1989 operating all over the United Kingdom based in Chesterfield. Its mission statement is to "connect men to Jesus and the church to men". It works with over 2,000 churches, mainly by having its materials used by the churches men's groups to achieve its aims. Website: Single Christians Ltd (SCL) is a not-for-profit company set up to facilitate a better understanding of the needs and aspirations of single people of Christian faith, primarily through research and provision of resources. Website: YouGov plc is an international internet-based market research firm, founded in the UK in May Its methodology is to obtain responses from an invited group of internet users, and then to weight these responses in line with demographic information. It draws these demographicallyrepresentative samples from a panel of some 3 million people worldwide including over 400,000 people in the UK. Website: 2
3 QUESTIONS ASKED IN THE YOUGOV SURVEY Question 1: For the following question, if you do not consider yourself to be a practising Christian, please select the 'Not applicable' option. Also, please only think about the occasions that you attend places of worship for religious purposes (e.g. mass, confession etc.) and NOT occasions that you may attend for other reasons (e.g. weddings, visiting as a tourist etc.). In general, approximately how often, if at all, would you say that you attend a Christian place of worship (i.e. Churches, Cathedrals etc.)? (Please select the option that best applies) Everyday Every two to three days Every four to five days Once a week Every two to three weeks Once a month Every two to three months Every four to six months Once a year Less often than once a year Never Not applicable - I am not a practising Christian Question 2: For the following question, if you have been married or have entered into a civil partnership more than once, please think about the first time you got married or entered into a civil partnership... At what age did you first get married or enter into a civil partnership? (Please type your answer, in years, in the box below. If you can't remember the exact age, please provide your best estimate.) 3
4 DEFINITIONS USED IN PRESENTING THE RESULTS Marital status The following Marital Status options were presented to the YouGov representative Panels: Married, Never Married, Civil Partnership, Divorced, Separated, Living together as married, Widowed. Partnered Includes Married, Civil Partnership, Living together as married and Separated. Note: The inclusion of Separated into Partnered is because underlying the distinction is the ability to form a marriage or civil partnership. Legally the Separated remain Married until Divorced. They make up 2% of GB society. Unpartnered Includes Never Married, Divorced and Widowed Social grades Originally developed by the National Readership Survey (NRS) for its readers, social grades are used to classify demographics in the UK. Developed over 50 years ago, their definition is now maintained by the Market Research Society. The grades are often grouped into ABC1 and C2DE and these are usually taken to equate to middle class and working class respectively. Around 2% of the UK population is upper class and not included in the classification scheme. Age groups The Christian Connection 2012 survey found clear breaks of behaviour and attitude occurred at 30, 45 and 60 and age groups accordingly follow these when statistically possible. Those used by the Market Research Society are 16-24, 25-39, and 55+. Practising Christian and attendance at a place of worship These are self-selected according to the answers given by panel members in the Questions asked of them (see previous slide). The term practising Christian is used about all those who voluntarily identify themselves as such. The term regularly attending is used to mean attending a place of worship for the purposes of worship at least once a month. GB Great Britain Formally the largest island in the British Isles, but here used to cover England, Wales and Scotland. 4
5 CAUTIONARY NOTES The data covers all that society members identify as Christian worship The responses cover all worship that GB citizens choose to identify as Christian. The data therefore covers all Christian denominations and independent churches - maybe a few that others would not count as Christian as not subscribing to the Trinitarian doctrine. There are large differences in the make-up of individual churches within denominations and anecdotal evidence of differences between denominations. Only statistically valid results are presented. The data is based on the responses of 7,212 people aged 16+ who live in GB, whose responses were then weighted to ensure that they representative of the make-up of GB society. Drilling down deeply into data sometimes results in insufficient numbers of people to be confident about the statistical validity and such data are not presented. Methodological note There are those of some marital statuses that are not fully covered by the options presented in the survey, for example the divorced who then live together as married. This is a fast growing group in GB in the age range 40-55, but the actual numbers are still small and prior consideration decided that they were insufficient to justify adding further options in the survey as they would not significantly change any percentages presented here but might have altered the response rate, thereby invalidating other results. 5
6 THREE DIFFERENT QUESTIONS - MANY DIFFERENT DATA PRESENTATIONS Who in GB society goes to places of worship? Percentage of GB society: how likely is it that someone will do X? For example, that someone goes to a place of worship regularly. Who makes up those present in places of worship? Are there any differences between those who practice Christianity and those who do not? vs. Percentage of a group in society: how likely is it that a member of the group will do X? For example, that a married person would say they are a practising Christian? Numbers doing X. For example 6 million go to a place of Christian worship at least once a month. Percentages of different groups that do X. For example of the people who go to a Christian place of worship, 60% are married. Percentage of a group that does X: if they do X how likely is that they will do Y? For example if saying they are practising Christian how many attend regularly. 6
7 BACKGROUND: WHO IN GB GOES TO PLACES OF WORSHIP? ONE IN TEN WORSHIP REGULARLY 30% of GB say they are Practising Christians 20% go to worship at least once a year 10% go to worship at least once a month Grossed figures for ease of recall. Actual 31%,19%, 10% FOR THE PARTNERED OR PREVIOUSLY PARTNERED The marital status of practising Christians, as a percentage of their group in society, is in following order: Widowed Married Divorced Living together as married Never Married WORSHIP IS FOR MIDDLE CLASS More middle class attend than working class. WORSHIP IS FOR WOMEN The greatest percentage of society attending are women and, in particular, ABC1 women. 7 ONE IN TEN NEVER ATTEND 1 in 10 of society say they are practising Christians but attend very rarely or never. Those doing this most are married men, who are working class and older.
8 BACKGROUND: NEARLY ONE THIRD OF GB SAY THEY ARE PRACTISING CHRISTIANS. 1 in 10 in GB ATTEND A CHRISTIAN PLACE OF WORSHIP AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH 19 million 30% say they are practising Christians in GB Grossed figure for ease of recall; actual 31% 12 million 20% go to places of worship at least once a year Grossed figure for ease of recall; actual 19% 8 6 million 10% attend places of Christian worship regularly at least once a month in GB
9 HALF A MILLION MORE WOMEN REGULARLY ATTEND PLACES OF WORSHIP THAN MEN Great Britain adults (16+) M 48.6% F 51.4% 8.6 million men and 10.4 million women in GB say they are practising Christians (using 62.2m as population of GB). Practising Christians 30.8 % M 13.9% F 16.7% Practising Christians going to worship at least once a year 19.4% M 8.6% F 10.6% Practising Christians going to worship at least once a quarter 11.3% M 5.1% F 6.2% The differences may appear small, but 0.8% means half a million more women than men attend a place of Christian worship in GB at least once a month. Practising Christians going to worship at least once a month 9.6 % M 4.4% F 5.2% Practising Christians going to worship at least once a week 6.5% M 3.0% F 3.5% 10 0 Great Britain Practising Christian at least once a year at least once a quarter at least once a month at least once a week 9
10 UNPARTNERED MEN ATTEND CHURCH LEAST A greater percentage of partnered people attend a place of worship. In order, as a percentage of their group in society: 24 % Partnered women 21 % Partnered men 17 % Unpartnered women 13 % Unpartnered men Attending at least once a year Attending at least once a month BUT (see next slide) this higher percentage of unpartnered women is because of one particular group The unpartnered in society attend places of worship less regularly, in particular the unpartnered men. Percentage of that group in society attending at least once a year Partnered Unpartnered 15 Male 17.7 % Female 21.1 % 20.9% 12.8% 23.7% 17.2% Partnered Female Partnered Male Unpartnered Female Unpartnered Male Percentage of that group in society attending at least once a month Male 9.0% Female 10.2% Partnered 10.9% Unpartnered 7.7% 10.4% 7.0% 11.3% 8.5% 10
11 BOTH MIDDLE AND WORKING CLASS UNPARTNERED MEN ATTEND LEAST % Partnered women ABC1 23 % Partnered men ABC1 21 % Unpartnered women ABC1 20 % Partnered women C2DE 18 % Partnered men C2DE 13 % Unpartnered men ABC1 13 % Unpartnered women C2DE 13 % Unpartnered men C2DE 11 Attending worship at least once a year Male 17.7 % Percentages of the group in society Partnered 20.9 % Unpartnered 12.8 % Female 21.1 % Partnered 23.7 % Unpartnered 17.2 % ABC1 22.2% C2DE 16.1% 22.9% 18.2% 13.3% 12.5% 25.8% 20.2% 21.3% 12.8% 13% of unpartnered people in society attend a place of worship, except for the greater percentage, 21%, of ABC1 unpartnered women. Because ABC1 women are also the most numerous as a group in society, this means there are a large number of unpartnered ABC1 women in churches. Note: a similar order is found in regular attendance at least once a month, but as one figure is not statistically valid, the table is not presented.
12 MANY PRACTISING CHRISTIANS NEVER OR RARELY ATTEND A PLACE OF WORSHIP. THESE TEND TOWARDS THE MARRIED MEN, WHO ARE WORKING CLASS AND Percentage of GB saying they are Practising Christians but not attending a place of worship at least once a year 10.5% ABC1 8.8% C2DE 12.9% The Never Married, if still practising their Christianity, are most likely to attend. Male 11.2 % Female 9.9% 9.0% 13.7% 8.7% 12.0% Percentage of GB saying they are Practising Christians but not attending a place of worship at least once a year 10.5% Partnered 12.7% Unpartnered 9.5% 10.5% of society say they are Practising Christians but attend a place of worship less than once a year. Who are they? - The Married and C2DE - particularly C2DE Married - and in those, the 55+ Married C2DE men, of whom 1 in 5 in society say they are Practising Christians but attend a place of worship less than once a year. 12 Married 13.4% Percentage of the Married Practising Christians in society not attending a place of worship at least once a year 13.4% Married Male Never Married 7.9% Married ABC1 Married C2DE 9.3% 17.4% Over 55: 20.8% Married Female 14.76% 14.5%
13 BACKGROUND: WHO MAKES UP THOSE PRESENT IN CHRISTIAN PLACES OF WORSHIP IN GB IN 2014? WORSHIP OF THE MARRIED 3 in 5 attending places of worship regularly are married people, but less than half are married in society. WORSHIP IS AGEING Those saying they are practising Christians and attending regularly increase with age, but regular attendees are disproportionately aged 60+ WORSHIP IS MIDDLE CLASS 62% of regular attendees are middle class (ABC1) and only 38% working class (C2DE) CHILDREN IN THE HOUSEHOLD INCREASES FREQUENCY OF ATTENDANCE But then attendance reduces during the age group when children become independent. WORSHIP IS FOR WOMEN The greatest proportion attending are women and, in particular, ABC1 women. 13
14 THE UNPARTNERED MEN, IN PARTICULAR, MAKE UP A SMALLER PROPORTION IN PLACES OF WORSHIP THAN IN SOCIETY Make-up of those who worship at least once a month Partnered Female Unpartnered Female Partnered Male Unpartnered Male Make-up of GB Partnered Female Partnered Male Unpartnered Female Unpartnered Male 18% 14% 32% 36% Difference in those unpartnered attendees compared to society: Male: - 5.4% Female: - 2.7% 21% 19% 29% 31% Attending at least once a month Partnered 68.0% Unpartnered 32.0% GB Partnered 60.2% Unpartnered 39.9% Male 45.6% Female 54.4% 31.6% 13.9% 36.3% 18.1% Male 48.6% Female 51.4% 29.3% 19.3% 30.8% 20.6% 14
15 MIDDLE CLASS PLACES OF WORSHIP WOULD LOOK MORE UNBALANCED Many places of worship are predominantly either ABC1 or C2DE. The marital balance of those attending would look very different in each case. The charts show hypothetical extremes, assuming averages across denomination and GB. There are relatively more ABC1 partnered women and fewer ABC1 unpartnered men. Male Partnered Female Partnered Male Unpartnered Female Unpartnered Male Partnered Female Partnered Male Unpartnered Female Unpartnered 19% 41% The unpartnered men are very underrepresented and partnered women over-represented 31% 9% 32% 18% The unpartnered are underrepresented, but church is balanced 19% 32% Make-up of a hypothetical ABC1-only place of worship 15 Make-up of a hypothetical C2DE-only place of worship
16 MEN APPEAR TO STOP ATTENDING WHEN THERE ARE NO LONGER CHILDREN IN THEIR HOUSEHOLDS Make up of group by age groups In context of older cohorts attending more, age group attendance relatively drops compared to those who say they are practising Christians Partnered men and women as proportion of group of those attending at least once a month. Male Female GB Practising Christians Attending at least once a month mainly through the partnered (mostly married) men who stop attending during the age group compared to other age groups
17 MEN AND CHRISTIAN WORSHIP: SUMMARY OF YOUGOV DATA ANALYSIS 1.8m fewer men than women in GB say they are practising Christians Unpartnered men don t worship Unpartnered men, especially the working class, are the least likely to attend a place of worship and attend least frequently. What happens at 40-54? Men with no dependent children present in the household continue to say they are practising Christians but attend less often. 1/2 million The number to bring men up to same percentage of regular attendance (once a month) as women. Christian but never attend If saying they are practising Christians, married working class men are least likely to attend, especially when 55 and over. Middle-class single men in the minority Double the number of middle-class unpartnered women attend than unpartnered middle-class men. 17
18 TOWARDS A STRATEGY FOR REACHING MEN: SOME SUGGESTIONS BASED ON RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE 1. Clear goal: Challenge for 1/2 million The number to bring men up to same regular attendance (once a month) as women in GB. 2. Reach the most under-represented in GB society: Unpartnered men, both working class and middle class Friendship patterns are crucial for the unpartnered. Men tend to form friendships in 2s and 3s and then cluster in bigger groups. Prayer triplets, challenge monitoring, etc. are ideas that have worked. Social gatherings in church do not work as well for them and men stay away. Most men form friendships through doing something together, exchanging tasks for each other, or discussions leading to re-framing ideas. In other words through action and contesting ideas (iron on iron). Neither are currently supported well in church worship. There is also often fear or distrust of the single man. There is need for resilient communities of faith that can welcome them. Idea: Identify man-based activities associated with worship or in worship that have worked well and promulgate. 3. Inspire men to stay worshipping: 3.1 Married men once their children have left home Many men are in churches over 10 years but then appear to leave leave because finding little of real value other than their presence for their children. This appears particularly true for working class men, who then attend less. 3.2 Unpartnered men aged 25+ Many younger unpartnered men who were attending leave and don t return. Why not? Not all marry and stay. Is it that they get more involved with outside activities, or that they find nothing for them in church? What would make them stay? Idea: A survey for these two groups done at low cost through partnering churches. 18
