Research
So, if you’re a mission strategist, work for a charity, or are a journalist or academic, our research can help you.
We undertake regular surveys of opinion among practising Christians and church leaders. You can take part.
This groundbreaking work is captured in the Lumino pages. You can check out similar research on a global scale in The Patmos Survey. Among other recent work is an exploration of the Chinese Church in Britain and the impact of Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on people’s perceptions of the Bible. We've also offered our reflections on the 2021 Census findings on religion.
