Working papers on research on the Church in Canada

Since 2003 we have been working together on a project looking at the changing face of religion, in particular Christianity, in Canada.


We have presented our research and published two academic articles (see below). We are also writing a book studying these changes.


This webpage has been designed to allow access to several working papers we have written which contain detailed information on changes within specific Christian denominations.
