The desecularisation of the city: London's churches, 1980 to the present (1st)

Major cities have long been seen as centres of secularisation.

However, the number of congregations in London grew by 50% between 1979 and the present.

London's churches have been characterised more by growth than by decline in the decades since 1980. 'The Desecularisation of the City' provides the first academic survey of churches in London over recent decades, linking them to similar developments in other major cities across the West.

Produced by a large team of scholars from a range of disciplines, this volume offers a striking and original portrait of congregational life in London since 1980.
