Roman Catholic Churches In Large Cities in Arkansas This dataset includes buildings where Roman Catholics gather for organized worship in cities with a population of 50,000 people or more. Roman Catholic Churches are Christian Churches that are subject to the papal authority in Rome. In addition to what are commonly thought of as Roman Catholic Churches, this data set also includes Newman (or Neumann) Centers and Chaldean Churches. Newman Centers are Roman Catholic Churches setup specifically to serve college or university populations. The Chaldean Church (also known as the Chaldean Church of Babylon) reunited with the Catholic Church in the 15th century. It originated in the Middle East. If a group of Roman Catholics gather for organized worship at a location that also serves another function, such as a school, these locations are included in this dataset if they otherwise meet the criteria for inclusion. Roman Catholic Shrines are included if they hold regularly scheduled mass. If a congregation celebrates mass at multiple locations, we have tried to include all such locations. This dataset excludes churches that are not subject to papal authority in Rome. Some churches may refer to themselves as "Catholic", and yet not be part of the "Roman" Catholic Church and these Churches are excluded from this dataset. Specifically Protestant Churches and their descendants which separated from the Roman Catholic Church beginning in 1517, Eastern Orthodox Churches (e.g. Russian, Greek) which separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1054, and Episcopalian (Church of England in America) which separated from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 are excluded. The 22 "Eastern Catholic autonomous particular churches", with the exception of the Chaldean Church, are also excluded. These are Churches which are in full communion with the Pope in Rome, but which practice their own rites which are different from the Western or Latin Roman Catholic Church. This dataset excludes rectories. Private homes, even if they are used for formal worship, are excluded from this dataset. Locations that are only used for administrative purposes are also excluded. This dataset also includes original TGS research. All data is non license restricted data. TGS has ceased making phone calls to verify information about religious locations. Therefore all entities in this dataset were â verifiedâ using alternative reference sources, such as topo maps, parcel maps, various sources of imagery, and internet research. The CONTHOW attribute for these entities has been set to â ALT REFâ . Text fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g. the German umlaut or the Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] attribute. Based upon this attribute, the oldest record dates from 2007/09/05 and the newest record dates from 2007/09/05

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The aim of the study was to ascertain the number and frequency of people attending church of all denominations in Scotland in 2002. Several denominational changes had taken place in Scotland since the last census in 1994 (SN 4395) and 1984 (SN 2554). Political changes, with the formation of the Scottish Parliament, had brought about boundary changes for many councils, by which church attendance was previously analysed. A combination of denomination, political and population change had necessitated a revision of church attendance. In particular the study was to evaluate if the age structure of churchgoers had altered over the past decade and to establish if the trend in decline in the number of young people attending Sunday worship in England was true of Scotland. Main Topics: The data cover: church attendance; age, gender and size of congregation for both adults and children; congregational ethos; type of area church is in; frequency of services; mid-week services; youth activities; church-run activities; Alpha and Emmaus programme; lay ministries.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. In 2010 the Evangelical Alliance began a major research programme which would enable it to understand more fully the lives and concerns of its constituency of Evangelical Christians across the United Kingdom. In 2010 over 17,000 people, connected in some way with evangelical churches and networks, completed a questionnaire about their beliefs, religious practices, opinions on political and moral questions and on their involvement and activism in the community. Over 12,500 of them defined themselves as Evangelical Christians. Paper questionnaires were distributed at major Christian events and festivals, and through a sample of Evangelical Alliance member churches across the UK. Subsequently a research panel, recruited in the first place from the 17,000 has been asked to take part in online surveys four times each year, with each wave of the survey concentrating on a specific theme or topic known to be of interest to the Alliance and/or its member organisations and churches. In the first online survey conducted around Easter 2011 over 1,150 people responded, in the Church Life survey carried out in November 2012 over 1,864 replies were analysed. Further information is available on the Evangelical Alliance 21st Century Evangelicals webpages. End User Licence and Special Licence data: Users should note that there are two versions of each Twenty-First Century Evangelicals study. One is available under the standard End User Licence (EUL) agreement (SN 7787), and the other is a Special Licence (SL) version (SN 7786). The SL version contains the text responses to the open-ended questions. The EUL version excludes the text responses to the open-ended questions. The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version. Therefore, users are strongly advised to order the standard version of the data. Latest edition information: For the fourth edition (February 2017), data and documentation for a new survey have been added. The survey has the theme of 'Religions, Belief and Unbelief' and covers views of secularism, religious diversity and interfaith relations. Further information is available from an article published in the IDEA magazine. Main Topics: The surveys carried out between 2010 and 2016 cover the following topics: Christian spirituality and learningemployment issueslife in the churchexperiences of and attitudes about schooling and educationevangelismfinancial matters and povertyinternational and global links and issuesuse of old and new mediaexperience of and views about contemporary familiesfaith in politics and voting intentions and issues pre-2015 electionlocal community and neighbourhoodsbasic beliefs, religious practices and civic involvementhealth and wellbeingethical consumerism church leaders and their church’s approach to Evangelismdifferent life experiences of the different generations, from boomers born before 1960 to millennials born in the 1990s'what is Evangelicalism?' to coincide with the 170th anniversary of the foundationsecularism, religious diversity and interfaith relations Simple random sample Self-completion Internet-based survey

Office for National Statistics' national and subnational Census 2021. Accommodation typeThis dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify households in England and Wales by accommodation type. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021. Accommodation type definition: The type of building or structure used or available by an individual or householdThis could be:the whole house or bungalowa flat, maisonette or apartmenta temporary or mobile structure, such as a caravanMore information about accommodation types:Whole house or bungalow: This property type is not divided into flats or other living accommodation. There are three types of whole houses or bungalows.Detached: None of the living accommodation is attached to another property but can be attached to a garage.Semi-detached: The living accommodation is joined to another house or bungalow by a common wall that they share.Terraced: A mid-terraced house is located between two other houses and shares two common walls. An end-of-terrace house is part of a terraced development but only shares one common wall.Flats (Apartments) and maisonettes: An apartment is another word for a flat. A maisonette is a 2-storey flat.Quality information: We have made changes to housing definitions since the 2011 Census. Take care if you compare Census 2021 results for this topic with those from the 2011 Census.Comparability with 2011: Broadly comparable. We have added a category called 'part of another converted building (for example, former school, church or warehouse)'. This means that there are some changes to the way people who lived in flats answered the question when comparing this variable with the one in the 2011 Census.

This dataset contains the Arab-West Report special reports that were published in 2001. It should be noted that at the time the articles were published, Arab-West Report did not exist. Religious News Service from the Arab World, the organization which would ultimately become Arab-West Report, originally published the following documents.

The dataset contains primarily the writings of Cornelis Hulsman, Drs., reporting on the affairs of Coptic Christians in Egypt, and subjects related to the Copts in the US and the west in general. A number of articles serve as a media critique of Coptic organizations’ (namely, the US Coptic Association) press releases issued abroad which present biased information on certain incidents that took place in Egypt.In addition to the reports and journalistic work of Hulsman, the dataset also contains commentary from RSNAW on published material from other sources (reviews/critique of articles).

Some of the themes that characterized this dataset includes:

• An article about H.H. Pope Shenouda and Father Matta el-Meskeen, two major reformers in the contemporary Coptic Orthodox Church in addition to the Ubur-city church incident. The dataset also includes interviews conducted by RNSAW with the governor and the Bishop of the church.

• Articles refuting claims by a number of Coptic organizations abroad through collecting testimonials from local Bishop and Officials. These reports denied false and inaccurate claims and criticized the press releases that lead to confusion, negatively impacting the Copts in Egypt.

• An interview conducted by RNSAW with Bishop Marcos and highlighted his remarks on the war against terrorism led by the United States following September 11 events and the war on Afghanistan which broke out subsequently.

• A report written by Dr. Naṣr Ḥāmid Abū Zayd shed light on the media debate on Islam in the West, and his criticism of the widespread views in the western media that Islam should be held responsible for terrorist attacks.

• The RNSAW database also included highlights of an interview with Cornelis Hulsman, Drs., by the by Egyptian TV where he concluded from the questions directed at him that there is a deep mistrust of western reporting about the Arab and Islamic world.

• Other editorials by Hulsman criticized the adoption of a resolution by the Anglican General Synod of Australia addressing the persecution of Christians in Egypt, without consulting the Anglican Bishop in Cairo or Anglican experts in England who are well acquainted with the church in Egypt.

• The reports also highlighted the issue of conversions from Christianity to Islam in Egypt. The reports refuted claims by Coptic activists in the US that two Christian were abducted by the Egyptian Government from their own mother, who then handed them over to strangers, under the name of Islam. One of the articles highlighted a film script entitled: “Hurghada...the Magic of Love" which deals with the issue of mixed marriages between Muslim men and Christian women which is a sensitive and painful matter for Christians.

• Coverage of Coptic feasts in Egypt, such as Palm Sunday and the Coptic Christmas celebration which was broadcast on the National Egyptian TV and showed senior officials attending the ceremony in the Cathedral.

• Additionally, some of the reports included an update on the trial of the renowned human rights activist Dr. Saad Eddin Ibrahim. In line with the aforementioned, this dataset contained an article penned by Saad Eddin Ibrahim explaining his motive behind declining to attend a meeting with members of the US Commission on International Religious Freedom as advised by his defense lawyer. Ibrahim was being tried at the time before the Higher State Security Court on charges made against his lectures and writings on religious freedom and minority rights, including those of Egyptian Copts.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner. The 1998 English Church Attendance Survey (SN:4394) found there had been a drastic drop in those, aged under 15, attending the English church in the 1990's. The aim was to discover why they had left and what, if anything, could be done about it. A key finding was the lack of 'fun' in church, the influence of grandparents and the importance of having people in church who understood tweenagers, their values and their language. The sample of church tweenagers was structured by denomination, churchmanship, environment and area. Other tweenagers were contacted through schools, those which agreed to take part in the survey, clustered in geographical areas close to responding churches. In addition, forms were distributed to various Christian organisations working with young people in this age range. Main Topics: This study includes young people who attend church and those who are not regular churchgoers. Topics covered include: religious affiliation; activities in spare time; computer and internet access; television viewing; opinions about themselves; trust; reasons for attendance and lack of attendance at church; belief in God; religious experiences; church activities; youth groups; young peoples' opinions and attitudes towards church. One-stage stratified or systematic random sample The sample of church tweenagers was structured by denomination, churchmanship, environment and area.

The protected characteristics of disabled and non-disabled people in England and Wales, using Census 2021 data. Data estimates provided are as on Census Day, 21 March 2021.

To ensure that individuals cannot be identified in the data, counts and populations have been rounded to the nearest 5, and counts under 10 have not been included. All figures are individually rounded. Totals may not sum exactly because of this rounding.

Age groups are based on an individual's age on their last birthday, as of Census Day, 21 March 2021. The age groups used reflect the European Standard Population (2013).

Age-standardised percentage

The age-standardised percentage of disabled people is that which would have occurred if the observed age-specific percentage of disability had applied in the European Standard Population (ESP).

Age-specific percentage

Age-specific percentage is calculated for each age group:

Mk = (dk / pk) x 100%

where:

Mk = percentage of disabled people in age group k

dk = the number of disabled people in age group k

pk = Census 2021 population in age group k

k = age group

Category

The measures of disability, ethnic group, legal partnership status, religion or sexual orientation in Census 2021 enable different categorisations of responses to the question. These provide different levels of detail from the responses provided.

Count

The count is the number of usual residents in each category (Disabled, Non-disabled, Disabled; limited a lot, Disabled; limited a little, Non-disabled; with non-limiting condition, Non-disabled; no condition), sex, age group and geographic breakdown. To ensure that individuals cannot be identified in the data, counts and populations have been rounded to the nearest 5, and counts under 10 have not been included..

Disability

The definition of disability used in the 2021 Census is aligned with the definition of disability under the Equality Act (2010). A person is considered disabled if they self-report having a physical or mental health condition or illness that has lasted or is expected to last 12 months or more, and that this reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities. The detailed response categories are:

• Non-disabled; no condition.
• Non-disabled; with non-limiting condition.
• Disabled; limited a little.
• Disabled; limited a lot.

Ethnic group

The ethnic group that the person completing the census feels they belong to. This could be based on their culture, family background, identity, or physical appearance. There were two stages to the ethnic group question. The respondent identifies first through one of the following high-level options before selecting a tick-box:

• Asian, Asian British, or Asian Welsh
• Black, Black British, Black Welsh, Caribbean or African
• Mixed or Multiple
• White
• Other ethnic group

Following this, respondents could choose 1 out of 19 tick-box response categories, including write-in response options.

Legal partnership status

Classifies a person according to their legal marital or registered civil partnership status on Census Day, 21 March 2021. The six categories are:

• Civil partnership.
• Divorced or formerly in a civil partnership.
• Married.
• Never married and never registered a civil partnership.
• Separated, but still legally married or still legally in a civil partnership.
• Widowed or surviving partner from a civil partnership.

Population

The population is the number of usual residents of each sex, age group and geographic breakdown. These have been rounded.

Religion

The religion people connect or identify with (their religious affiliation), whether or not they practise or have belief in it. The nine categories are:

• No religion.
• Christian (including Church of England, Catholic, Protestant and all other Christian denominations).
• Buddhist.
• Hindu.
• Jewish.
• Muslim.
• Sikh.
• Other religion.
• Not answered.

Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation is an umbrella term covering sexual identity, attraction, and behaviour. For an individual respondent, these may not be the same. The five categories are:

• Straight or heterosexual.
• Gay or lesbian.
• Bisexual.
• All other sexual orientations.
• Not answered.

Usual resident

For Census 2021, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months.

Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a plate consisting of six condensed maps which show the principle religious denominations of the people living in Canada. The 1951 Census of Canada enumerated the religious denomination of which each person was either a member or to which he or she adhered or favoured. This plate shows the distribution of population on this basis of the six religious groups which were most numerous in 1951. These six groups are as follows: Roman Catholic, The United Church of Canada, The Anglican Church of Canada, Presbyterians, Baptists and Lutherans. Each map is accompanied by a pie chart showing the percentage distribution of each denomination by province and territory.

This table contains 21 series, with data for years 1871 - 1971 (not all combinations necessarily have data for all years). This table contains data described by the following dimensions (Not all combinations are available): Unit of measure (1 items: Persons ...) Geography (1 items: Canada ...) Religious denominations (21 items: Total religious denominations; Baptist; Congregationalist; Anglican ...).

Qualitative data from collaborative research undertaken in Nigeria and Solomon Islands by researchers from the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations (Coventry University) and colleagues from the Anglican network of churches worldwide. 2014. Includes transcripts of individual and groups interviews, focus groups and community forums and researcher participant observation notes. Also includes notes from the 'Promoting Peace, Preventing Violence' consultation with global church leaders that contributed to developing the research insights. Research in Nigeria was focused in Jos and Kaduna, both cities that have experienced significant ethno-religious conflict. The researchers engaged with 249 respondents across 30 organisations in 32 sessions. Field research in Solomon Islands took place in the capital Honiara. The team interviewed 20+ leaders from key groups inside and outside of the church and visited Tabalia, the home of the Melanesian Brotherhood. The aim of the project is to answer three questions about the role of churches and other faith groups in helping to spot early signs of violence and stop it from happening. 1) what is distinctive about faith-based approaches and what makes them different from the activities that are carried out by people who are not working from a faith point of view 2) what are the dilemmas that emerge when faith groups get involved in trying the prevent violence and what possible tensions can we foresee with people who do not share their beliefs 3) what scope is there for improving the work that churches and faith groups do to help prevent violence and what changes do we need to make for this to happen. The research will help us to know more about the work taking place, helping churches and their partners to plan effectively. Activities to ensure that the research makes a difference include a high-level meeting of people from the church, government and charities hosted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, sessions with Bishops in the House of Lords and the production of a set of resources on conflict prevention for church-goers in conflict areas. Qualitative empirical research analysing the positive and negative contributions of local faith groups in times of conflict or crisis. The project adopted an in-depth interpretive approach to allow the researchers to form a rich understanding of the lived experience of religious actors at community level. Ownership of the research process was shared with colleagues from the Anglican network of churches worldwide, from design through to data collection and analysis. The initial insights from the fieldwork were taken to a global consultation of senior faith leaders and a second consultation of other interested parties (e.g. NGOs, UK government offices working overseas).

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.This machine-readable version of John Williams' Digest of Welsh Historical Statistics is the result of a collaboration between the Statistical Directorate of the National Assembly for Wales, the History Data Service and the Centre for Data Digitisation and Analysis at Queen's University Belfast. John Williams' Digest of Welsh Historical Statistics is intended to provide a service for those working on the history of modern Wales. It arises from a belief that the quantitative element is a necessary and important part of the historical record; from an awareness that it was an aspect that was particularly inaccessible for scholars of Welsh history; and from a conviction that some encouragement in the use of quantitative material was necessary. It is modelled on the two volumes dedicated to British historical statistics: Mitchell, B.R. and Deane, P. (1962) Abstract of British historical statistics and Mitchell, B.R. and Jones, H.G.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.These data were collected as part of a research project run by Dr Leigh Shaw-Taylor and Professor E.A. Wrigley and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council: Male occupational structure and economic growth in England 1750-1851 (RES-000-23-0131). The aim of this project was to reconstruct the evolution of England's male occupational structure from c.1750 to 1851. The underlying aim was to improve our understanding of the industrial revolution. The results of the project have not, at the time of writing, been published. Main Topics: This data collection consists of 19 files. Each of them pertains to one of Englands ancient counties. In every case the file contains male occupational data abstracted from virtually all the surviving Anglican baptism registers for that county for the period 1813-20 In the case of eight counties (Bedfordshire, Cheshire, Durham, Lancashire, City and Ainsty of the City of York and the three Ridings of Yorkshire) the files also contain occupational data culled from Anglican baptism registers for one, and sometimes two, eight-year periods between 1740 and 1799. This represents virtually all the surviving occupational data that met certain data quality requirements. These data are derived from the occupations of fathers recorded in Anglican parish registers at the baptism of a child. From 1813, under the terms of Rose's Act it was a legal requirement to record the fathers occupation and practice almost universally conformed to the letter of the law. Hence virtually complete geographical coverage of Anglican baptism registers is possible for this period. For the period 1740 to 1799 coverage is incomplete.
