| Summary: | Although the role of women in the church has produced both controversy and change, there has been little sociological research on the topic. However, Greeley and Durkin (1984) analyzed survey data concerning the effect of feminism on women's church attendance and attempted to explain this relationship. The present paper examines this issue in a multivariate analysis of survey data collected in western Canada. The results suggest that the relationship between feminism and church attendance depends upon the specific measures of each. There was little support for Greeley and Durkin's explanation of a feminism-church attendance relationship, although differences in the specific measurement of feminism must qualify this conclusion. Suggestions for future research on this topic are offered. |
