520 |a Recognizing that the use of older typologies to describe current religious and non-religious commitments is inadequate, I describe some newer approaches while also proposing a new typology for older British women. The typology is based on in-depth interviews and participant observation, involving 70 women, aged over 40 and resident in the southern half of the English Lake District. Six ideal types are suggested: embedded belongers, rehabilitated returners, reflexive switchers, implicit believers, holistic switchers, and forms of secularism. Commitments vary considerably, from long-standing churchgoing to long-standing forms of secularism, but most are voluntarily undertaken rather than stem from a sense of duty, as might have been the case in the earlier part of the twentieth century. What unites the women is their commitment to an ethic of care, regardless of their religious or non-religious stance.
