The document contains demographic information about a survey group including age, gender, region, and religion. It shows that attendance at religious services has decreased slightly between generations, with those in their 20s and 30s attending less regularly than their parents did. While overall attendance is still predominantly weekly, the data suggests religiosity may be lessening over time, especially among younger groups. The document calls for further understanding this trend and its potential causes related to priorities, organizations, technology, culture, and environment.

5. *Cant make broad conclusions; sample size is too
small.
*But its interesting to note that even in this
predominately religious survey group, frequency
of participation in religious services is lessening
over time.
*I think its worthwhile trying to understand this
dynamic, dont you?
