Presenting results of inaugural 60 second survey that's part of my research into contemporary views on faith, spirituality and faith-based organizations. Surveys are run every 2 weeks through FB page "60 Second Pulse Check". Participation is open to all teens & older, regardless of religious affiliation (including having no affiliation). Survey responses are anonymously submitted.

Pattern
However: One Key Demographic Distinction
20’s & 30’s -> 40% attend less regularly
than they did with their parents.
Their children pattern their frequency.

5. *Can’t make broad conclusions; sample size is too
small.
*But it’s interesting to note that even in this
predominately religious survey group, frequency
of participation in religious services is lessening
over time.
*I think it’s worthwhile trying to understand this
dynamic, don’t you?

6. * Please share your thoughts by posting a comment on FB page
“60 Second Pulse Check”:
- Are you/your priorities changing?
- Are faith based organizations changing---(or not)?
- Is the Environment (i.e. time demands) and Technology
(i.e., live streamed services, online options) driving change?
- Is your spiritual wellbeing less important? Does our culture
place lower value on this aspect of your life?
Feel free to contact the Pulse Team at 60secondpulse@gmail.com. Would love
to hear from you!
