Posted on December 10, 2022 by Clive D. Field

Counting Religion in Britain, No. 87, December 2022 is a special 14-page edition devoted to the first release of data from the religion question in the 2021 Census of Population in England and Wales.

This issue of BRIN’s monthly bulletin consists of tables, commentary, and a selection of media reporting of the results of the religious census. A copy of the full text can be downloaded from this link No 87 December 2022

Any other items of religious statistical news from December will be held over to the January 2023 edition of Counting Religion in Britain.

At the time of writing, the most significant new resource, apart from the census, is the Church of England’s Statistics for Mission, 2021, which can be found at: https://www.churchofengland.org/system/files/private%3A//2022-12///2021StatisticsForMission.pdf

The BRIN team wish all our users a peaceful and restful festive break. We look forward to ‘seeing’ you again in 2023.
