Faith Communities Today (FACT) recently unveiled its 2020 survey, Twenty Years of Congregational Change: The 2020 Faith Communities Today Overview. It follows decennial surveys in 2000 and 2010, plus a couple of smaller interim surveys. FACT is not a random-sample survey. With more than 15,000 responding congregations from over 80 religious denominations and traditions, it is the largest congregational sample taken in the U.S. How do these results compare with what we are observing in Indianapolis? At least in this instance, an understanding of religious culture in Indianapolis can bring survey data into sharper relief and better clarify the experiences of American congregational life in the early twenty-first century.
