| Summary: | Building on the work of the United Methodist Task Force on Religious Indicators, this paper reviews developments in the field of social indicators and makes some suggestions for religion. In the area of social indicators, brief mention is made of the work of NASA, the Russell Sage Foundation, the National Academy of Sciences, the Social Science Research Council, and several federal agencies, concluding with funding by the National Science Foundation of several research projects. Attention is called to a new interest in the study of religion and to developments in organized religion which may favor work on religious indicators. A progress report on the work of the task force includes a review of several unpublished papers dealing with such topics as social indicators of religion, religious institutions, interfaith indicators, black church, national sample data, psychological factors, and theoretical considerations. Some specific suggestions are made looking toward more adequate religious indicators in the 1970's. |
