Abstract
This thesis examines factors that may lead to growth within the Church of England. The research focuses on specifically the impact that worship music, theological and social viewpoints, and leadership style have on attendance figures within the church. In order to understand these factors, this thesis analyses data collected through a survey to identify whether one factor influences affiliation more than any other. The thesis concludes that whilst one factor has a larger impact than others, there is no definitive answer as to what draws individuals to churches. Further examination could include investigation of regional differences, or more in-depth study of the impact of social attitudes on religious affiliation.
